Heathen @ Mailbox Art Space

Belle Bassin, Leanne Hermosilla, Valentina Palonen, Anna Parry
Curated by Mitchel Brannan

6 - 30 July 2016
Opening Thursday 7 July, 6-8pm

In Heathen, four artists present work engaging with mysticism, the numinous and the unknowable. Their practices are divergent but their work is brought together through their shared interest in ways of knowing that are beyond rationality and empiricism. Here they present vignettes and artefacts of that engagement.
