A range of media will feature in the program - sculpture, painting, video and drawing. A book will be made to accompany the exhibition, which will include full colour reproductions of the works and a contextual essay.

12.01.2022 Huge congratulations to Erin Coates winner of the 2017 John Stringer Prize for her work The Pact, 2017. The Pact is a set of three works that explore elements of physical endurance and the body in space. Beginning with the short film work, The Pact acts as a double-portrait of two women the artist and her climbing partner. Set inside a dark void of indeterminable dimensions, the scale and shape of the space are defined by the movements of the womens bodies. The figu...res perform a tessellation of structural gestures as they weave in and around the dark space. There is a slow centrifugal motion and mounting physical and psychological tension between the two climbers. The extreme physical exertion of their actions is visible in the straining muscles, as sheets of blood fall through the space and a sense of abstract horror slowly rises. To endure the space and remain suspended within it, the figures are completely reliant on one another. Using stills from the film, the print work The Pact alternates between plan and elevation views of the climbers, showing a series of symmetrical patterns formed by their bodies. The arrangement of the imagery generated from the performed actions is reminiscent of architectural diagrams or medical imaging. Extrapolating one final stage, the gouache and ink drawing The Pact translates the bodies in space into a distilled visual language of red and black forms and fine black lines, abstracting the figures to examine mass, tension and movement.

05.01.2022 Erin Coates will be exhibiting her collaborative work Open Water : The Offering with Anna Nazzari for High Tide. Weighbridge, 2 Phillimore St 28 Oct-12 Nov | ThurSun | 6pm10pm | Free ... Taking a true event as a starting point, Open Water: The Offering is based on an incident that occurred in 1965 in the coastal town of Albany when a well-known whaler and gunner on The Cheynes III (a whale chaser) lost his leg after it became entangled in a rope attached to a harpoon fired at a whale. The film charts the imagined journey of a detached human leg, gifted to the Southern ocean and its inhabitants by an otherworldly cetacean. The bloated, grotesque leg is gradually colonised by endemic marine species of fauna and flora, transformed into a dark, phantasmagorical island. Shot entirely in the coastal waters off Perth, Open Water: The Offering merges nature documentary with Cronenbergesque body-horror. It offers a darkly magic realist version of maritime history in regional Australia, considered from the perspective of the ocean and its inhabitants. https://www.facebook.com/events/478173299217389/
