Things Have Been Better
Dana Lawrie
6 – 7 November 2021
Things Have Been Better is an exhibition of new work contemplating the constructed nature of 'calmness'. Revering the importance of personal ritual and excessive inward reflection, the works consider the power and sadness in acknowledging impermanence.
Remember it will end.
