In Tandem, 2014

In Tandem, 2014

Playing the role of creative matchmaker, artists were paired together to see what two minds and four hands produce when working in tandem. This project was not solely concerned with the end product.

Mighty Small, 2013

Mighty Small, 2013

Artwork on an immense scale often enthralls and consumes, whereas smaller works captivate on a much more intimate level, drawing the viewer in for closer inspection. This exhibition will not simply be concerned with works that are little, but works that defy the very notion of small meaning less or denoting an absence. It will present work that is compact, but is in every way just as powerful, notable and spectacular.

OF LIGHT, 2012

OF LIGHT, 2012

‘OF LIGHT’ is the debut exhibition curated and mediated by YOLK Collective. It is an exhibition centered on manipulations of light, luminosity and electricity. This is a broad theme encompassing works that conceptualise notions of light, and explore visual elements of contrast and chiaroscuro, while also encompassing works using lights or mediums of a luminescent nature.

© 2022. Olivia Welch lives and works on the unceded traditional lands and waters of the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation. She acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land and waters, and pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
