Lost and Found: Jayne McSwiney

9 Jul 2025 – 16 Aug 2025

Lost and Found walks the line between sacred and punk. Jayne McSwiney retrieves the broken and discarded: crashed bumpers, abandoned homes, a single plastic Band-Aid. She alters and elevates them with minimal, charged interventions. Nothing is restored. Everything is reconsidered and reframed. 
 
Lost and Found unfolds over five weeks. Works enter and exit the space across time. While each work is resolved, the exhibition remains in flux, open to movement, change, and unexpected interruptions.
