The term “imaginaries” often describes realms of pure invention or flights of fancy; here, it refers to more everyday creative activity: how we perceive, shape and make sense of ourselves and the world around us. Intimate Imaginaries brings together bodies of work by thirteen Arts Project Australia artists who each express a compelling, richly inventive and deeply felt worldview. While the exhibiting artists utilise a range of media and processes in their works – including painting, drawing, ceramics, soft sculpture and video – they all share a distinctive handmade aesthetic.
