LON Gallery is thrilled to present Kate Wallace's highly anticipated debut solo show with the gallery, Memory of Place, on view between 19th October and 12 November.

The exhibition comes after a busy year for the artist who held her first institutional solo exhibition at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery in March and has just returned from New York after a residency at the NARS Foundation, supported by the Australia Council for the Arts.

"Views into places once lived in or passed through; a detail of a scene between; a millpond who’s stillness echoes throughout; ’Memory of place’ explores ideas of absence and change through a series of paintings that consider our relationship to space and how we remember. Here techniques such as repetition, scale, blur, montage, detail (or lack there of) are employed as a means to record and translate my own experience of place, in turn reflecting upon the precariousness of remembering during times of such ecological upheaval and change. Drawing on spaces both shared and private, familiar and unknown, real or fabricated, the works continue investigations relating to memory, isolation, escapism and the construction of past through painting."
