What goes up, must come down.

Life gives you lemons

Consider this a preview of what The WALL is for, work that deserves to be seen without needing to fit neatly anywhere else.
WALL/00 inspo
Look on the bright side
The absurdity of forced positivity - but yellow helps.
Spring. New beginnings. Everything coming up roses... or lemons.
Close enough.
Everyone else's IG feed for the past three months.
Sun. Lemons. Stripes.
And now Australian spring has finally arrived.
Deep in the studio, in the middle of winter.
Cold place. Bright works.
Light at the end of the tunnel.

About The WALL
What is The WALL?
The WALL is a changing space for temporary drops of work by Kearnsy, an Australian contemporary artist based in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia.
The WALL sits alongside, rather than inside, Kearnsy’s main practice.
Each WALL starts with an idea. It is a place for experiments and bodies of work that don't necessarily need to belong anywhere else.
Sometimes pulled from the stockroom. Sometimes new. Sometimes serious. Sometimes not. Sometimes Kearnsy chooses what goes up. Sometimes someone else might.
The WALL stays – what’s on it doesn’t. What goes up, must come down.
Why a wall?
Before galleries existed, there were walls.
A wall has always been a place to put things. Paintings, posters, messages, protest, memories. A temporary space for human expression.
Things get hung. Things get covered. Things come down.
A wall is never really blank. Paint goes over paint. Posters go over posters. Graffiti gets covered by graffiti. Wallpaper is stripped away. Strip a wall back and you might discover something that was there before.
Across history, walls have been canvases and storytellers, and every wall has two sides.
Great Wall. Berlin Wall. Wall Street. Wonderwall.
This is just a WALL.
