Anxious Spaces was included in ‘THE LONG KISS GOODBYE’ Perth International Arts Festival 2020

‘The Long Kiss Goodbye’ stills a moment of departure, guiding you through your feelings and suggesting, gently, that you’ll never really be able to let them go.

Artists include Sarah Contos, Penny Coss, Iain Dean , Brent Harris, Michele Elliot. ·\ Curated by Gemma Weston

Coss’s meticulously arranged, idiosyncratic fabric installation ANXIOUS SPACES, is a thing ofglorious beauty, rich in texture, colour and mysterious logic. Twice during the course of the exhibition, Coss performs an intuitive rearrangement of the installation, highlighting the nature of anxiety, which often manifests in the need to control the narrative, stay ahead of any imagined problems, and ensure perfection.
