AM I DOING THIS RIGHT?

Platform (formerly CCAS Manuka)

2024

'Am I doing this right?' is a question that plagues Kamberri/Canberra-based artist and recent art school graduate Sophia Childs. This exhibition features work which was made in direct response to feedback received from a rejected exhibition proposal, and demonstrates the artist’s determination to continue experimenting with right and wrong ways of making contemporary abstract paintings.
