Vanessa Brown, "That Other Hunger," 2022

Vanessa Brown’s exhibition That Other Hunger explores the concept of holes, featuring a completely new body of work. While you might not think much of this seemingly mundane entity, Brown shows us the surprisingly rich complexities and potential that holes have.

As a child, Brown was fascinated with the portable hole from the Looney Tunes cartoon series, which functioned as a void into which characters fell and also as a mode of transport between time and space. Beyond that, her references encompass an eclectic range of holes, such as those found in geography, anatomy, and the galaxy. Audiences are invited to explore a multi-sensory installation featuring Brown’s delicate sculpture work, video, textiles, and new sound works by Michelle Helene Mackenzie.
