FUTURE SOFT
by Sandy Sanderson
Opens 6pm Friday 6 October
Threads Meld, A gentle evolution is perpetually rippling through the fabric of cosmic code and futuristic dreams.
‘Future Soft’ is a space to navigate the interplay where emotions intertwine withe evolving landscapes of technological and biological futures. The exhibition serves as a portal to envision compassionate and intriguing futures.
Through Texture and hyper-colour, speculative future realities are expressed with experimental soft sculpture, screen printing and new technologies. They reflect a yearning for growth and a search for balance on earth.
As time passes, earthbound networks of technology, DNA, and interconnection grow increasingly complex. ‘Future Soft’ is a space that reflects and nurtures awe in the world around us and points towards empathy.
‘Future Soft’ blends the realms of AI, genetic transformations, and emotion. The potential futures that emerge from the convergence of these themes invites viewers to contemplate the plasticity of growth and encourages dialogue on the ethical, environmental, and social implications they raise.
We are guardians of growth. Allow the fantasy.
Sandy Sanderson is an experimental, soft sculpture artist who incorporates screen printing and new technologies into her practice.
Sandy is an artist with a dynamic disability, she uses techniques and materials that are moulded to her capacity. Her works have a focus on texture and sensory qualities and lean into a sci-fi aesthetic.
Sandy has a background in fashion, running a fashion label called ‘Lurline Avangeline’. This, as well as her love for face culture has informed her art making practice.
Sandy’s work aims to reflect awe and intrigue about reality. Her practice gives reverence to this world through authentic acts of empathy-driven creativity. Through her mostly research-bases art practice, Sandy aims to help people find the humour and fun in life, while still being able to sit with the dichotomy of exploring darker realities of life.
Sandy studied at Phoenix institute of transpersonal therapies and is currently completing a bachelor at Newcastle Art School.
