Translations 2026

The desire to process and understand the world around us is a relatable quest. Who decides what stories get told? How do we remember them? How do you render experience and what transforms it along the way?

Pearce’s practice examines ancient mythologies and archetypes, exploring the contrasts and echoes to contemporary issues. Littlewood similarly delves into the collective consciousness, currently focusing on the house as both a physical and psychological space. Both Durrant and Woodman use abstraction as their method of distillation. Durrant transforms the sensory into intuitive mark-making. Woodman methodically recontextualises our world into diagrammatic landscapes, an attempt to capture images of the mind at work, portraying thought processes as actors and beings moving about on stage.

Translations sees Gasworks Short-Term Studio Program’s current and alumni resident artists Romy Durrant, Caitlin E. Littlewood, Indya Pearce and Samuel Woodman explore these themes.
