Louise McRae - Salty Silk, 2026

Louise McRae is an artist deeply interested in materiality, exploring
the subtleties of how sculpture can connect and respond to different
environments. Spending summertime in the ocean floating about, noticing it cool and smooth on her skin. Drifting naturally with the current and into wonder. She loves a survival at sea tale, the ocean moves from liberator to captor. The best and worst experience of the survivors' life.
A favourite is Life of Pi, by Yann Martel. with an outrageous cast, a boy, a Zebra, an Orangutan, a Hyena, a Tiger and a small boat. We drift into the unbelievable story with Martel floating us along with his words.
“Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud.." Life of Pi, Yann Martel
