Shroud of Secrecy

Coinciding with Scarce’s mammoth survey exhibition at the Art Gallery of Western Australia, and following the extraordinary response to her work at the 2023 Armory Show in New York, Scarce’s exhibition at THIS IS NO FANTASY showcases her photographic, textile, and glass works.

Scarce reflects on her personal and family history in South Australia, as well as touching on Australia’s foray into nuclear testing, and the impacts of colonisation on First Nations people – illuminating her desire to bring the darkest shadows of Australia’s past into the direct light of day.
