Gertrude Glasshouse

44 Glasshouse Road, Collingwood

Opening: Saturday 12 August, 4–6pm

I examined the inside of my mouth for hours with a dental mirror. As if there might be something to find in there. I looked for words and at the back of my teeth. Dentistry represented a soft-medicine, the examination of an orifice already exposed to the outside world.

I’m finding it difficult to articulate.

The Artist acknowledges the people of the Kulin nations as the sovereign owners of the land on which she lives and works. Isaac pays her respects to elders past, present and future. This land has never been ceded.

This project is generously supported by the City of Yarra Annual Grants program.
