Cross Art Projects
Opening Saturday 13 September, 2 pm
Opening talk by artists Karen Mills and Sarah Pirrie with guest speaker Dr Wendy Garden (Head of Audience, Education & Learning, Museum and Art Gallery Northern Territory)
13 September to 11 October 2025. In Ghost States, artists Karen Mills and Sarah Pirrie visualise the ebb and flow of their two-decade-long conversation on the fleeting traces or ghost movements of objects in landscapes and composition. The artists have sketched together and worked on projects with specialists and colleagues on intercultural collaborations, often in response to rare and endangered environments. The idea of a trace or ghost suggests the term “punctum” used by Roland Barthes to describe an incidental but personally poignant detail in a photograph, which pierces or prompts a meaning particular to a viewer.
