About the 2022 Exhibition

Spiritual Self & Soul Space returns in 2022 as an unfolding of the art lens, encapsulating the elements once again and moving forward into thematic territory, with connection through spaces.

We welcome you to get acquainted with Artist Bios and art direction by each participating group show member. Throughout the time period of the pandemic, all participating artists have looked to honouring current directions and relevant concepts given the impact of social distance, engagement opportunities for connecting and a return to individual experiences in positive spiritual connection.

It has been almost four years since the inaugural focus of Spiritual Self and Soul Space. At the last group show opening night, Keith Chidzey expressed a genuinely beautiful acknowledgement of Spirit as all visitors stood in a circle around a slowly melting ice formation with fire element. There were photographed image stills framed in the 2018 show as documented expressions of the meditative inclusions that we contemplated and in relation. These were from a previous installation. This performance and accompanying introduction set the tone for positive relationships to themes explored inside the gallery. 


The qualities of the connection were expressed by all the artists on wall spaces and plinths, with an interesting series of visual & spiritually - correspondent colourants and formations for contemplation. As natural continuation, we respond to the theme

'Connecting through Spaces'. The centering aspect of the first show gave birth to primary currents, and foundation engagements for exploring 'the personal' - as individuals we all engage in these human conversations with our art, in spiritual passage. While Covid-19 has brought ranging imprints, the stories of positive culture & connection to Spirituality becomes increasingly significant. We are all blessed by the simplicity of the act of 'experiencing art', 'sharing human conversation in this domain' and being in positive-realm, always. 


Again, we are thankful to be participating in this gallery expression at Project Contemporary Artspace as part of an engaged Illawarra art district.
