Fine, thanks
31 January - 17 February 2024
Gala Jane is a mixed-media artist exploring mental health through the use of text, found objects, textiles. Fine, thanks explores Gala’s personal journey in the days, weeks and years after the Lismore floods of 2022 hit, destroying her studio and devastating a community. The exhibition delves into the aftermath of this natural disaster and shedding light on the challenges faced once the media and government pack up, leaving a town and individuals to figure it out. Using voice recordings from this time with vibrant colours, found objects and tufted rugs she begins to break down her resilient facade. After nearly two years in the making these works have become part of Gala’s healing journey, culminating in a poignant and raw portrayal of her experience.
