Whatiftheworld / Gallery 208 Albert Rd. Woodstock

For her début solo exhibition, Jacqui Stecher has composed a series of paintings that evoke themes of otherworldliness, watching and being watched, the charge of interior spaces, and the interaction of power and vulnerability. The works carry a subtle intensity in that their images are at once familiar and unfamiliar. Originally sourced from found images, these paintings of children’s heads against stark colour fields are ghostly presences, characters from Stecher’’s imagination that also seem quite eerily appropriate in ours.
As a title Volume 1 can refer to the beginning of a larger body of work, to a quiet space where acute listening is required.
