Home Bodies | Ana Daniels

Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery | The Vault

31 January - 18 April 

Home Bodies is a sculptural exhibition that interrogates the politics and tensions of the domestic sphere, particularly as they relate to queer experience. Familiar comforts - pillows, blankets, bedding - are transformed into uncanny textile sculptures fused with industrial materials, acting as proxy bodies under strain.

The exhibition explores how queer bodies navigate the home, a space often marked by both rejection and self-determination. It asks: how can softness persist in the face of rigidity, and what joy exists in the gaps between social structures?

Ana Daniels is a Bundaberg-born artist and current Master of Philosophy candidate at QUT, who first exhibited in the student exhibition 'Emerge' at Bundaberg Regional Galleries nearly a decade ago.
