day01. is pleased to present the final exhibition of the year, Ground, Air, Light, celebrating Planet Earth.
Ground, Air, Light considers the world beneath and above us: its ground, its weather, its light. Bringing together distinct artistic practices, the exhibition explores our relationship with the natural world and the ways it is seen and experienced.
The late Mary Gole (Joyce Mary Arasepa Gole, 1941–2025), a pioneering Papua New Guinean artist, shaped clay by hand into vessels that hold the earth itself. Ingvar Kenne’s photographs linger on the land, capturing its scale and changing atmosphere through a quiet attentiveness to place. Vita Cochran’s embroidery draws nature by a single thread. In two small paintings, the late Motorbike Paddy (1932–2025) gave form to Arrarntenh Country and a personal Dreaming story, where place, memory and cultural knowledge are inseparable.
Above, the air shifts. Diana Copperwhite’s landscape paintings conjure the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), while Marisa Purcell’s paintings hold the stillness and movement of air, light and space..
