Sophie Lane is a Sydney based artist and illustrator working on Gadigal and Wangal land. In taking a fragmented approach to personal narratives, her drawing and painting practice considers the intimate subjectivity of autobiographical storytelling. Landscapes of connection, solitude, mundanity, chronic illness, desire and gendered experience are broken up with visual and anecdotal negative space into which other possible understandings can be imagined. This process of disrupting traditional narrative structures allows the artist to offer up an introspective body of work; the hesitant vulnerability of a story only partially told.

A Feather Landing
This digital writing exhibition is an invitation into stillness. Four poets experiment with communicating the wordless, drawing upon language as an imperfect signpost towards the shimmering presence that exists beneath and beyond all things.
