Merewyn Wirth: The Earth is Dreaming

The Earth is Dreaming presents forms that question what the distinction between painting and sculpture is, merging both disciplines together. Biomorphic rock-like structures are vessels for oil paintings that seek to settle deep in the body and the dirt. They attempt to uncover a narrative of place that has always been part of being human.

Wirth is an artist based in New York, originally from Washington State. Their work considers sites of collective memory through architectural ruins and the abstraction of the ancient, synergised within earth object/plaster sculpture.
