Stormie Mills: All the secrets are buried between the oceans and the mountains
COMING SOON
Gallery 03 & 04 | Opens 1 Aug
From street walls to the state gallery, Stormie Mills has spent forty years painting a path of connection. This first Australian state gallery exhibition presents a new body of work reflecting a career that began with a mark on a wall in the darkness of night and now reaches public spaces and galleries worldwide. Shaped by formative encounters and global travel, Mills moves between places where stories are hidden and shared. These stories move among our layered selves and surroundings, and into galleries where ideas are gathered and brought into view. Titled All the secrets are buried between the oceans and the mountains, the exhibition explores the people and places Mills has encountered – individuals with their own secrets, forming communities connected through a shared creative language.
