Following keen observation of places, people, and self, Kavochy work investigates the meandering routes of emotions, the confining or liberating positions we find ourselves as we navigate the world. A line is the connection between two points, it is stable yet it could also be a spiral which leads to the same place.

Grateful to everyone who took time to visit the show.

Objects become powerful when they carry memory, identity, belief and connection. Collecting material is like collecting memories: it is choosing the stories of those who used it or had contact without knowing the specifics. When you start mending or layering, you are covering the past while building a new one. The old does not disappear; it becomes substrate. The unseen begins to appear. The paintings operate like shared space, a way of collecting memories, making new images and framing the threshold.

Being here is also a continuation of lineage, of community, of memory. What you have is abundant and prosperous. We follow the line and move to find out what is beyond.

Anita Kavochy, A line of Thought continues at the gallery until 15 August, 2026.

A line of thought is like taking a route along a trail. Moving forward, doubling back, pausing and in that wavering, something begins to take shape. The path is circulatory, recursive and alive. In painting, this physical and psychological wandering makes the work.

The work layers from our backgrounds, tracing the textures of materials she is collecting, thinking where they come from and their previous placement. Following them is like experiencing life itself.

In life, everything is happening, Kavochy makes a record of that simultaneity.

A line of thought is on view till the 15th of August

Throughout Gestures of Presence, colour plays a really important role. For Birhane, experimenting with colour and technique is itself a form of meditation.

Worede finds himself fully present in his surroundings, noticing countless variations in the landscape and experiencing a profound sense of peace.

Gestures of presence is on view till the 29th of August.
