TRACE: Sea ghosts & other phenomena

Hair rustled by a gust of salty wind, imprints made on sand and washed away. Fleeting moments in time, space and place that ignite our senses, fill us with powerful emotions and remind us of our humble place alongside nature. Apparitions and supernatural forces; art that blurs the distinction between reality and illusion.

The intersection of artists Kim McDonald, Jasmine Susic and Karli Duckett, TRACE: Sea ghosts & other phenomena is a collection of works that span monoprints, photography, movement and film. Celebrating their collaboration during a South Gippsland Shire Council ArtCube residency and documentation, the works feature both the natural world and the constructed environment featuring elements of the Bunurong coast alongside Coal Creek Community Park & Museum. An enduring connection has enabled the artists to investigate their environs through sense with this
collection resulting in both imprint and erasure.

In the Auditorium Gallery, visitors will be treated to Phantom Ride by acclaimed video artist Daniel Crooks. This dual-projection video work with sound is a mesmerising journey through time and space, featuring footage of the Korumburra railway turntable before its removal and repurposing. The inclusion of this local landmark gives the exhibition a sense of homecoming, making it especially meaningful for our local community.

Closing 4.00pm Monday 20 April.
