Review: 'He said she said', Sabrina Baker at ANCA

The title of this exhibition is perhaps intentionally evasive as it is not about luggage, rather an exploration of how we as individuals chose to reveal or conceal ourselves to others through written or oral conversations. The work Tete-a-tete is notably a reference to the concept of chatter. Varying shades of coloured wool are intimately wrapped around sections of rope, appearing haptic in their placement this piece is in fact a series of recorded interactions, methodologically tracking Bakers encounters with friends and family over a period of time. The success of this work comes not from this abstracted method of three-dimensional diary keeping but how it inadvertently forces audiences to gossip, a third party made privy to a private conversation.
