Marking Mahoney’s first fully-realised body of oil-on- canvas works, Pareidolia signals a bold expansion of the South African artist’s visual language, long-articulated through her sculptural forms.

Vela Projects is proud to present Whale Fall, Emma Wootton’s debut solo exhibition. The title refers to the ecological phenomenon that follows the death of a whale in the deep ocean. The dead mammal descends to a barren sandbank, without consequence or ceremony, before being taken apart, cell by cell, as bottom feeders, bone worms, bacteria and salt slowly devour it.
