JAHNNE PASCO-WHITE
mmms
17 May – 17 June 2023

STATION | MELBOURNE

Jahnne Pasco-White employs a variety of materials in her work, from reclaimed oil paints, found raw pigments, leftover acrylic paints, plant based colour and recycled textiles. In mmms, Pasco-White invites us to enter into her world, to explore the emotions that underpin her work, and to discover the power of painting as a means of connection and sensation.

The ‘mmms’ of the exhibition’s title refer to a broad range of references, both micro and macro, celestial and personal, from the first murmurings of life, to observations of the natural world around us: mmms, mmm, mamma, mammal, milk, milky way, milky galaxy, milky mammal, mammal, mamma, mmm, milk, messy, mush, marshy, messmates, microbes, mineral, movement.

"Painting for me is a way of feeling, a way of becoming more attune to the effect of the changing environment through the bodily senses." — Jahnne Pasco-White
