“These repeated vessel shapes emerged from a piece of plastic debris. Making them brought me an inexplicable sense of release and I vowed to make one a day. While doing so, I reflected on my own life and the lives of those making dangerous journeys in search of sanctuary.”

Cath Acons presents Voyages, a new installation of over 4,000 individual paper vessel forms. Their boat-like shapes encourage us to think about travel, escape, danger, and freedom. Where are we going, and what are we leaving behind?

Made with sound artist Julia Schauerman, the accompanying soundscape explores Cath’s thoughts and feelings while creating the work. For Cath, her studio is a refuge where she can reflect, repair and plan for future voyages.

Visitors are invited to handle, touch and feel the artwork. Please do so gently.
