STICKS AND STONES: EARTH AND BONES
June 28 2025 — October 19 2025
For millennia, sticks, stones, earth, and bones have been the foundation materials of creative expression. Ken Unsworth, one of Australia’s most respected artists, is well known for incorporating these materials in his sculptural installations, including his kinetic work Zone of Wistful Thoughts, which he donated to MRAG in 2023. We will showcase this iconic installation alongside works from our collection and a selection of stunning loaned pieces inspired by these earthy materials.
