Cathy Abraham’s exhibition uses fragile materials to address gender-based violence

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

ArtThrob’s review of Cathy Abraham’s A Deeper Kind of Nothing describes how fragile materials became a means of mourning and collective reflection at Glen Carlou Gallery in Klapmuts. A central installation used thousands of painted eggshells, while another incorporated balloons holding the artist’s breath. The critic considers the shared painting sessions as spaces for remembering lives affected by gender-based violence and for confronting the difficulty of recovery.
