Living Just Enough features work by artists of varying generations who respond to these conditions from historic perspectives and in relation to the current global moment – a state of deepened rupture exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The diverse practices of each artist intersect with different forms of activism which oppose gender based violence, homophobia, transphobia and the erasure of the culture of indigenous peoples.

These imagined amalgam heads atop glossy pearlised off-white automotive spray painted bases are cast in white acrylic composite, a pale, almost ghostly plaster-like material that simultaneously evokes the luxury of marble surfaces and the more provisional, layered history of raw plaster as a material for the casting of statues. These works draw upon commonly understood hierarchies between materials to explore social power structures and the way in which status is ascribed within them.
