Body, like vessel, like, painting, like water explores material ideas of fragility, embodiment and accumulation through an intermeshed dialogue between painting/drawing and sculpture processes – such as re-purposing shredded works on paper as sculptural vessels.
The project reflects on the experience of recently connecting with and processing the latent grief regarding my mother’s illness and death thirty
years prior. In examining relationships between the body and materials, the work looks at the way that personal experiences can be metabolised and metamorphosed through art practice and the physical process of making.

'The Body Holds Itself'
Rie Delange and Anna Dunnill
The Wandering Room invites you to the eleventh instalment in our ‘Paired’ exhibition series.
'The body holds itself' brings together the work of Naarm/Melbourne-based artists Anna Dunnill and Rie Delange to explore material ideas of fragility, embodiment and accumulation.
In examining relationships between the body and materials, the exhibition also looks at the way that personal experiences can be metabolised and metamorphosed through art practice and the physical process of making.
'Paired' is a series of curated exhibitions pairing two Naarm / Melbourne based artists. The paired practitioners may choose to collaborate in some way or simply exhibit side by side.
