In her first solo exhibition in Perth since 2018, Helen Smith explores the binary of minimalism and complexity in a new painting series. Minute details appear secondarily to the large, geometric shapes that seem to flip or vibrate, expand and collapse as a viewing experience.

Unique State silkscreen prints made in collaboration with Master Printer Sally Gimson in the UK accompany the paintings.
