Press Release

Ames Yavuz is thrilled to announce Nervous System, Caroline Rothwell’s solo exhibition at Ames Yavuz Sydney.

Nervous System is inspired by the complex and interconnected circulatory systems that underpin biodiversity, plant architecture, weather cycles and human infrastructures. Using her unique processes, these new works evoke a strange chemistry through slumping and stitched forms in metallic and carbon finishes. Incorporating cast bronze sculptures, assemblages, animation and relief paintings, Nervous System reveals the delicate balance of ecosystems.

Through references to water flow, clouds, pipes and data, Rothwell urges us to consider the connections between the colossal systems that regulate our Earth and the intricate structures and webs that connect all living beings, challenging our human centred ways.
