Mornington Peninsula-based artist Kelly Larkin presents her debut solo exhibition, CURIO, at Lander—Se — an intimate collection of sculptural works inspired by the natural world.

Kelly’s works hold traces of her daily life; fragments of notebooks, shopping lists and scrap paper folded and layered with plaster to create angular forms.

The colours and shapes within the exhibition are inspired by a ‘perfect day spent at the sea’ with sand, shells and sun-bleached boats all being called into reference. The forms of the artworks themselves act as sundials, shifting shadows throughout the day whilst the surface of each resembles that of a stone shaped by the sea.

CURIO speaks to both the fragility and endurance of our surroundings, inviting us to take a closer look at the environment and find beauty in everyday details.

CURIO, by Kelly Larkin is showing at Lander—Se from April 12 – May 11. Email art@landerse.au to enquire.
