We’ve been back in Perth visiting family for the past few days, and things have been pretty hectic (as always, we’re running behind on a bunch of stuff and our trip hasn’t helped – if only we could clone ourselves!) – but today we briefly met one of the passionate people behind the latest and coolest gallery and studio projects in P-town – Paper Mountain.

It also reminded us that we’d seen a great show coming up at the venue from an emerging Perth artist by the name of Chloe Spiers-Atherden – who was also a part of the recent Living Walls show at FORM Gallery.

“Lunar Soil is an exploration of perception and the way it is coloured, shaped and finely textured through the lens of personal mythology. Worldviews everywhere intersect, interbreed and are ultimately cultivated and renewed through human imagination, allowing us to perceive meaning on both the individual and cosmic scale.

Lunar Soil is a small collection of inky symbols reflecting some of the stories, environments, creatures and ideas experienced in just one among an infinite array of evolving mythologies.”

Before we’d even read the words, we saw the colour, and we liked! Though we were really keen to see what the show was all about and check out Paper Mountain itself, unfortunately we have to leave Perth tomorrow before the event. That said, if you’re in the West you should head down there for us! Paper Mountain looks like a really fun place, and this will be a a cool bit of art from an intriguing up and coming artist.
