Fiona Hall: Wrong Way Time presents the extraordinary creations of Fiona Hall: figures woven from military camouflage, painted clocks, botanical illustrations on banknotes, sardine-tin sculptures, nests of shredded money, strange driftwood, and more.

Hall's seemingly random conjunction of things in a wunderkammer-like installation appeals to our human impulse to make connections. Despite the apparent darkness of much of the work, it is also life-affirming, its own vitality in perverse distinction to the 'minefield of madness, badness and sadness' of global politics, world finances, and the environment, which are the inspiration for Wrong Way Time and in turn provide the rich pickings for Fiona Hall's extraordinary transformation of materials, images, and objects.
