sore-tooth, 2025, fab Fringe artist residency exhibition at fab Workshop and Studio

'sore-tooth' embodies the collaboration between Asha Southcombe and Martina Beka, as residents of Fab Workshop and Studios. Through the use of leather, paper, and metal, their works engage in a shared occupation of space, shaped and enhanced through meticulous processes. While the final pieces appear solid, the materials themselves are fragile in their development—easily discarded, destroyed, or mishandled. This exhibition emphasises the raw essence of these materials, transformed through countless hours of repetitive and meditative practice, culminating in their final forms.

Nearly an Exhibition, 2024, SALA exhibition at Nearly Bar

Located in the West End and offering a South Australian-focused drinks list, it is no wonder Nearly draws artists & arts workers alike as regulars for studio knock offs or an extra wine pre/post exhibition opening. In celebration of this, Asha Southcombe has brought together artists Pia Gynell-Jorgensen, Sian Watson, Carly Tarkari Dodd, Nat Penney & Hari Koutlakis to present works that are influenced both in process and presentation by sound, movement and play. Exploring a range of mediums from painting to sculpture, the works by this diverse group of artists all resonate the cosy mood and inviting atmosphere that Nearly is so well known for. 

Artists: Hari Koutlakis, Pia Gynell-Jorgensen, Sian Watson, Carly Dodd, Nat Penney
