The notion of The Well is rich in metaphorical and symbolic potential for Melbourne-based artist Sarah Walker. The project emerged from a period of great solitude and personal upheaval; after visiting a psychic who prophesied the images she was already making, the resulting sequence takes the form of a feedback loop. Fragments of architecture, landscape, and the natural world bracket intimate portraits of loved ones; analogue detritus and interventions breach the frame. Blurring the lines between history, personal experience and potential futures, Walker reimagines the visual languages of family, friendship and landscape through the lens of the sacred and dreamlike.
