Sim Smith is pleased to announce Vanessa Garwood’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, Story Circles. Vanessa Garwood’s paintings explore the progressive nature of matrilateral storytelling, whilst also mining the psychological dramas that unfold behind both speech and action. Each painting becomes an investigation into the hierarchies that play out in this instinctive, subconscious world, where the imprint of childhood wrestles with adult desires and contemporary influences.
