EXHIBITIONS' OPENING at Ladder Art Space in Melbourne

Echoes of Unseen- Crystal Wu

As a mother daughter wife friend and team leader etc., I move through many roles in my life, each layered with subtle, fleeting emotions that often escape words. These quiet exchanges of tension, giving, receiving, love and connection linger long after they pass.
Through abstract painting, I capture those moments, the ones felt deeply but unseen. My work is a visual echo of what language cannot hold: a personal record of emotional undercurrents, held still in color, form, and movement.

The Moments Between- Watceilia Varso

Step into The Moment Between, a deeply evocative exhibition that explores the sacred pause between endings and beginnings, the liminal space where transformation takes root. This show brings together a collection of both new works and select pieces from previous series, offering a cohesive journey through light, stillness, and emergence.
At the heart of this exhibition lies the radiant presence of a golden sun or moon, a recurring motif symbolizing consciousness, memory, and the timeless witness to all change. Through fluid textures and elemental palettes, these works capture the silent tension held in moments before rebirth, before movement, before light breaks.

The exhibition features:
• The Moment Between (new series): A visual meditation on the power of pause. These pieces, rich in cobalt, crimson, and metallic gold, echo themes of becoming, healing, and the celestial gaze that watches as we evolve.
• Dance in the Echoes (pass series): A reflection on memory, rhythm, and resonance where lots of transformation is felt even in stillness. These earlier works explore emotional landscapes and the embodied imprint of past energies.
Together, these works invite the viewer into a space where time expands, where the present is neither arrival nor departure but the potent in-between.
