Remy Faint: A Site of Unfolding

In one room, a pair of lotus shoes from the late 19th or early 20th century, labelled as Mei Ying's, sits beside What Remains of a Form, a piece Remy Faint made in 2026. That pairing is how the whole show works: objects more than a century old, set next to new work made in answer to them.

Faint's great-great-grandfather came to Australia from Southern China over 150 years ago, and his great-great-grandmother came from a line of silkworm farmers. The show takes that inheritance into silk, clay, wood and metal. Forms from archival sources are remade in another material and repeated at a different scale, so you meet the same shape once as an artefact and again as something nearer abstraction.

The gallery calls it Faint's most ambitious body of work to date. Entry is free, Wednesday to Friday 10am to 5pm and weekends from noon, until 22 November, and the same visit takes in shows by Heather B. Swann and Jordan Gower.
