"I floated in a dream that hovered between bliss and nightmare."
Sally Blenheim's Wake takes the form of a surreal underground landscape – a fantastical gothic garden, where time slows then stops. The artist is interested in how people move their ‘spiritual’ desires between different objects and spaces. How certain places and things can have a spiritual power, how objects become imbued with a power above and beyond their materiality.
Sally Blenheim is a Naarm/Melbourne based artist working in video, animation and light installation. In 2006 she completed a residency at Gasworks Gallery London, supported by the British Council Australia’s Realise Your Dream.
