Where Have They Gone? 2025
White Conduit Projects
18 October to 22 November 2025
A series of drawings about death and the afterlife, inspired by Fay Ballard’s residency at the Pier Arts Centre in the Orkney Islands and trip to Japan in 2024. In Japan and Orkney, she explored Neolithic sites, Jomon settlements, and visited Mt. Osore, a remote active volcano where the mythical river Sanzu takes us to the afterlife. Using black sumi ink from Japan, the drawings affirm the imagination’s ability to invent grieving rituals and other worlds after we die.
The exhibition is curated by Yuki Miyake.
Poet Tamar Yoseloff has collaborated by writing ‘The Ship’ in response to the drawings. It will be published alongside an essay by writer and curator Paul Carey-Kent in an accompanying book.
