JAHNNE PASCO-WHITE
Kinning with Lake
10 August – 14 September 2024

STATION | SYDNEY

STATION is delighted to present Jahnne Pasco-White's fourth solo exhibition with the gallery, Kinning with Lake.

Pasco-White’s painting practice is steeped in a rich body of research, focusing on ecology, relationality, and feminism. Her style of abstraction articulates itself in raw, gestural paintings on fabric and canvas. Hand dyed fabrics pigmented with organic materials gathered from her surroundings – including domestic debris and matter collected from the natural environment – are complemented by acrylic paint, oil stick, pastel and crayon. Into these surfaces, she re-introduces segments of her existing paintings, cut up and reworked in an ongoing cycle of decay and renewal.

Kinning with Lake is a new series of paintings exploring Pasco-White’s relationship with the lake by her home. The lake’s diverse ecosystem, teeming with flora and fauna, has become contaminated by human activity, industry, and development. Aiming to understand the messy ecosystem of the lake, Pasco-White finds appreciation in the entanglements affecting the environments that both human and more-than-human bodies contribute to.

With a practice critically reflecting upon her place in the world, Pasco-White approaches these paintings as a mode for digestion; of grappling and stumbling with materials, experiences, and exchanges. Kinning with Lake continues her environmental position, situating the body as enmeshed and co-constituted with other living and non-living beings.
