Private view for the exhibition WHAT’S LEFT | WHAT’S GONE, at Hypha Gallery 3 / No. 1 Poultry
WHAT’S LEFT | WHAT’S GONE is a group exhibition that considers what materials retain and what slips away over time. Bringing together artists working through process and material experimentation, the exhibition approaches making as a way of thinking through memory, fiction, and lived experience.
Across sculpture, ceramics, and installation, materials are treated as responsive—registering time, labour, and repetition through acts of handling and reworking. Memory emerges as fragmented and provisional, surfacing through objects and gestures rather than fixed narratives. Fiction functions as a means of engaging with what is remembered, distorted, or lost, opening space for ambiguity rather than resolution.
The exhibition also addresses questions of excess and scarcity, where materials reflect cycles of accumulation, depletion, and care across ecological and inner landscapes.
WHAT’S LEFT | WHAT’S GONE invites reflection on what persists, what disappears, and what continues to be reshaped through making.
