Down in the creek, that’s where they say it lives, The Necker. Creeping in the creek, in the deeping mud, squatting and slipping. Where fresh meets salt the water will have your lips smacking and your gums tingling, and there you’ll meet it.

About

Recasting the gallery space as a backdrop for the inversion of reality, The Necker is an exhibition of new works by Sebastian Thomas and Isabel Wilkinson. Using sculpture, collage, paper, canvas and print, the artists populate the space with forms born of a fascination with science fiction, mythology and the fragmentation of the mundane. Edging towards an edge, there are monsters creeping, dreams coming true and nightmares coming truer, glints of humour in the gloom. The Necker is a retelling of the world where familiar shapes warp and conspire to confound us, where forms germinate in good darkness and shadows gather in bad darkness. A kind of underworld where things move in another direction, and all the junk and spectres of the overworld are revivified.
