Featuring a series of sculptural and performative works with glass by early-career artists Bronte Cormican-Jones and Megan Wilkinson, this exhibition explores the role of glass in architecture and the relationships between architecture and the body through space, material, and perception. Architecture frames the understanding of your bodies in space, and contemporary design increasingly employs windows and glass walls to separate interior and exterior realms, as well as public and private spaces. The artists examine glass not only as a structural element but also as a membrane that mediates your experience of space and perception.

By focusing on its dual role as window and skin, the artists invite viewers to consider how glass influences your interactions with both built environments and the bodies that inhabit them. Systems of gaze and political architecture shape an investigation of power dynamics and physical structures that govern seeing and being seen. The concept of membranes serves as a central theme, with glass acting as a delicate barrier that separates and frames interior and exterior worlds.
