Lara Merrett: Casus Fortuitus

Karen Woodbury Gallery, Melbourne, 2016.

“In the past Merrett has worked on the more traditionally understood notion of a canvas.

Long preferring to work on a large scale, the drop sheets have been a logical progression for Merrett, acting as ready-made supports that presented themselves organically through her studio practice, rather than having to be intentionally stretchered like the unanswered question of a blank canvas…” *
