Two pioneering  Australian artists whose work traverse generations and media feature in a new exhibition at the Warrnambool Art Gallery. 

LISA GORMAN + MIRKA MORA: to breathe with the rhythm of the heart celebrates the two artists shared love of colour, illusion, other worldliness, and experimental modes of production, while highlighting the pivotal role fashion and textiles played in their daily lives. Lisa Gorman

The exhibition features garments from the Gorman label's iconic 2016 and 2018 GORMAN X Mirka collaborations, rarely exhibited embroideries, soft sculptures, paintings direct from the Estate of Mirka Mora and a large-scale, sculptural installation by Lisa Gorman, drawing inspiration from the two fundamental components of weaving, the warp and weft.  
 
This exhibition, designed by Studio Bright, also includes works from the Heide Museum of Modern Art and private collections. 

The exhibition will be supported by a limited-edition bespoke publication published by the Warrnambool Art Gallery.
