lingua franca  I  Tooth & Nail Gallery  I  Adelaide  I  2015

Representing Sarah Moller's sixth solo exhibition, the body of paintings in this exhibition comprised the practice-based research component for doctoral studies in Visual Arts. The culmination of four years of studio research in Germany and Australia, the work drew upon gazes gathered en route between ordinary life and the extraordinary holiday setting. Originating in transience, lingua franca conveyed the movement and fleeting nature of the tourist spectacle as it transpires within the contemporary setting.
