Burrow
Asha Beveridge and Oscar Palmer
27.09.24 - 08.10.24
‘Burrow’ concerns itself with the way we sit with grief, the impeding nature of our emotional archive, and the reclusiveness that follows. The works are witness to the in-between moments, moments that act as nests, created by the detachment of oneself from the experiences leading us to them. Toying the line of attachment and detachment, ‘Burrow’ exists as a middle-ground.
Through examining solitude, home and the things we carry with us,
Asha Beveridge centres their work around the manifestation of memory in place and object, the significance of the mundane, and a constant search for stillness. Employing image making and sculpture, Beveridge materialises the sacred connection we have to our history, and how we seek to understand it, asking why we are the way we are, and how our pasts inform the way we carry ourselves in the present.

Oscar Palmer is an interdisciplinary artist based in Naarm/Melbourne. Oscar’s work explores what has been lost and the idea of remembering what once was. His work is an attempt to challenge his own emotions, relating to the way he perceives his past experiences, and guide them to a place of acceptance and/or understanding. He plays on grief, materialising it through way of sculpture and painting. Fascinated by neglect and the concept of something aging or being ‘used’ unto it, Oscar’s subject matter often makes use of found and recycled objects and materials. Finding the beauty in the turned away and concerning himself with why.
