Stormie Mills All the secrets are buried between the oceans and the mountains installation view, The Art Gallery of Western Australia, 2026.
School Visits
All the secrets are buried between the oceans and the mountains by Stormie Mills is an immersive exhibition with a mirrored and partially painted floor that some visitors may find disorienting. Due to the reflective floor, we recommend wearing shorts, trousers or long skirts when viewing this exhibition. Students are welcome to walk on both the mirrored and painted sections of the floor, or to view some parts of the exhibition from outside the curtains.
The All the secrets interactive activation is not available for school groups, but please encourage students to come back on weekends or during the holidays with their families so they can release their secrets into the vault.
