Nina Prendergast, ‘Solitaire’. Resin, 2021⁠
⁠
Diving deep to reveal the subterranean slumbers of cryptic crypts, buried narratives, and half-forgotten symbols, Dis ~ Int ~ Er offers up artefacts from three artists’ exploratory excavations.⁠
⁠
Ellen Sayers, Skye Malu Baker and Nina Rose Prendergast are Naarm/Melbourne-based artists whose practices encompass sculpture, drawing, painting, print-making and photography. Forming a collective in 2020 that took the formal exploration of surfaces as its focus, they have been grateful to work on Wurundjeri Land to realise this exhibition.⁠
