Jon Tarry - Restraint @ Heathcote Museum &Gallery
Restraint is a solo exhibition by Jon Tarry for Heathcote's annual TILT program. Responding to the Heathcote site through a series of experiential artworks, Restraint moves subtly between augmentation of the building, formerly a mental health facility set high on a dramatic peninsula above the Swan River, and refined light pieces, featuring low frequency sound works combined with sculptural constructions in timber and canvas, creating a considered and emotive response. Restraint presents a development in Tarry's process in which 'site' becomes integral to the generation of ideas. These works evoke material and elemental responses to the history of significant places and their changing conditions.

Restraint presents a development in Tarry's process in which 'site' becomes integral to the generation of ideas. These works evoke material and elemental responses to the history of significant places and their changing conditions. Entropic breakdown of levels of consciousness and the subsequent renewal of creative thought operates within forces of resistance and restraint.
This body of work continues a line of inquiry which has seen the artist involved in a diverse range of projects within Perth and internationally: the Perth Entertainment Centre demolition, 'Valletta Gate' Malta with Riet Eeckhout, Architecture Project, Renzo Piano and current projects in London, Basel and Los Angeles. Jon Tarry has works held in the State and National Galleries, in addition to numerous private and public collections in Australia and internationally, including the Australian Embassy in Berlin.
