Never Can Say Goodbye

E. Salmon


18 June 2026–12 July 2026

Never Can Say Goodbye brings together new and old drawings, prints, videos and installations. It deals with remembering, processing, twining and untangling (im)permanences. I’m trying to honestly depict my personal experience of Indigeneity in the city. Holding wallaby sinew taut and wringing out the blood / getting woken up by muscle spasms and potent dreams / joking ‘I’ve never gotten over anything in my life’ / watching the stones get dug up next door / feeling shame / “it’s that same old dizzy hang up”

take care before I see you again

  • My name is E and I am an artist and student of Nyikina and Celtic descent. I live and work on Wurundjeri land, and was raised in Naarm’s northern suburbs. I make string, weld steel, edit video, draw, read and write to complicate prescribed norms of identity, voice dissent, promote catharsis and undertake intergenerational healing. I have shown at Incinerator Gallery, 138 Gallery and Trocadero Projects, and have a BFA in Drawing and Printmaking from VCA.
