In The Garden Silhouettes the Myth, Australian interdisciplinary artists Heath Wae and Tais Rose Wae present a body of work created during an immersive residency at Kelvedon Hall, a Grade I listed 18th-century estate in Essex.
Living and working on-site, the artists responded to the estate’s layered history, architecture, and natural surroundings, producing works steeped in ritual, ancestry, and material sensitivity.
Heath Wae’s body of work created during the residency was especially inspired by the sculptural forms and marks scattered across the house and grounds, serving as a new reference point in his practice. His paintings reflect cycles of emergence and decay, stillness and sensuality, memory and imagination, while Tais Rose Wae’s woven forms evoke ancestral memory, intimacy, and spiritual connection.
Central to the exhibition is a singular collaborative piece, The Lily Dreams a Future Form (2025).
In this work, Tais Rose Wae carefully reworked Heath’s painting, transforming it into a woven form that unites their practices in a delicate act of creation and transformation.
The Garden Silhouettes the Myth reimagines Kelvedon Hall’s cultural and physical landscape, inviting visitors into a contemplative space where memory, ritual, and the natural world converge.
