This exhibition brought together the practices of Throngkiuba Yimchungru and Kiyomi Talaulicar, two artists who work with memory but through different lenses.
Yimchungru builds with timber and construction debris—materials heavy with both physical and cultural weight. His forms are grounded and exact, shaped with care. They carry ritual, community and ancestry while pointing forward. His process is deliberate: choosing what to keep, what to alter, what to charge with meaning. The clarity of his structures gives them quiet authority.
Talaulicar moves differently. She works through surface and texture, letting forms emerge in layers. A door, a chair, a leaf might appear, but never as direct description. They hover as fragments, felt more than seen. Space is her tool, colour her emotional register. Each element is considered, every pause intentional. The work remains open, responsive, alive.
Together their practices balance collective history with personal trace. One speaks through material weight, the other through sensory residue. Both distil memory into form. The show turns on choice—on what is remembered, on what must endure.
