Sanné Mestrom

Conceptual photography and sculptural interventions form odd juxtapositions, bringing together psychological and material concerns in Mestrom’s work: a solid medium appears languid, like a sagging or slumped person leaning against a wall in the slouch toward Nirvana; gum spat on the pavement becomes the inverted constellation of a private universe; the edge is a vertical line in space or a series of vertical lines tearing into a page; a point is a physical co-ordinate + a good place for an argument; horizontal gravity pulls her along, slowly.

Recent solo and group projects include: The Nothing – West Space, Melbourne; Things Fall Down.
