Admitting the Possibilities of Error: Conceptual drawings by Kirsten Lavers

Mon 28 April 2025 - Fri 4 July 2025

Each drawing has emerged from a meditative process that begins with the perimeter line of a perfect circle, evolving thereafter from repeated attempts to perfectly copy the preceding line. Small mistakes accumulate, creating images reminiscent of fingerprints or tree rings.

Over 15 years this simple approach has grown from doodling into an in depth engagement with a range of experiences and issues creating possibilities for conversations around our desire for perfection and discomfort with fallibility.

Kirsten will be visiting the exhibition daily to update her work ‘These Days’ please contact her via www.kirstenlavers.net to arrange to meet up for conversation.

Join us for the exhibition reception on Saturday 3 May from 17:00 – 19:00, which will include poetry reading and launch of artist’s book ‘Tomorrow Is Another Day’ designed by Mary Burke. Refreshments will be provided.

From 14:00 – 16:30 on Saturday 3 May we will host the related workshop ‘True Cut: Biopsies from the hidden heart of healthcare‘ run by surgeon, educator and writer David Alderson with Kirsten Lavers.
