Rise and Fall

Ryan Orme

8th – 23rd July
Opening: 7th July 2016, 6-9pm
Gallery 2

Rise and Fall looks at extractionism, the process by which value is taken without being replaced.

This exhibition of painting and sculpture explores the idea of people-as-resource and the exploitation of our collective energy in processes that in turn plunder the earth-as-resource. The artist’s tenderly constructed images of workers present us with a disjointed timeline of human endeavour; encouraging us to view ourselves through a macro lens that pits civilisation against time and history.
