The galleries are open from 10am, and at 2pm art writer and editor Joanne Laws will lead an artists talk with Katherine Sankey and Corban Walker.

This exciting exhibition at The Dock presents new individual and combined works by the artists Katherine Sankey and Corban Walker. Concentrating on their separate and joint approaches to sculpture across the three galleries, the exhibition gives the viewer an insight into the profound connections in their work. This approach to exhibition making is a point of departure for both artists.

Katherine Sankey employs sculpture, video, drawing, and painting in her installations. Sankey’s current projects seek to challenge assumptions about both the boundaries of the human and what constitutes a ‘natural’ object. They hold a grimy, distorted mirror to ‘the real’. In its uncanny representations of embodied experience, it is about dis-ease, disturbance, anxiety, illness, and repair.

Corban Walker combines an organisation of rules with his physical orientation. The mathematical rules analyse such variables in condensed formations, while deliberately stretching the capacity of assemblage and one’s perspective. Walker from a height of 129 centimetres, brings a re-evaluation of scale to a wider audience in an installation or sculpture. Navigating a “conditioned” site from a conditioned stature (Achondroplasia). Contrasting his experience, with other people’s belief of what is considered a ‘correct proportion and measure’, through a minimalist approach, Walker's aim is to introduce new ideas to that conversation. He conveys a perception of scale, known as “corbanscale”. Walker combines an organisation of rules with his physical orientation. The mathematical rules analyse such variables in condensed formations, while deliberately stretching the capacity of assemblage and one’s perspective. Admission to the galleries is free.
