EVERYDAY MYSTICISM
Lewis Lewis and Grace Dewar as Dolphin Milk
Everyday Mysticism uses cultural phenomena, friendship and experimentation to offer new material dialogues and social encounters. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, visual artists and sometimes performers, Grace Dewar and Sarah Lewis (aka Dolphin Milk) invite magic and mysticism into everyday situations. Their multi-dimensional and poly-temporal research reorganises the everyday as *potent gifts*, referencing spiritual consumerism and collective mythologies in Western culture. The work engages the familiar as an attempt to spark imagination and maintain curiosity with the world. Dolphin Milk provokes and inhabits the *super magic* of the unknown.
Everyday Mysticism was developed over a month-long residency exploring the charged energy found at the Tugun Triangle; a speculative mythology of times zones in flux. This project takes place on the unceded lands of the Yugambeh and Mibiny language region (Gold Coast, Australia). Dolphin Milk acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sovereignty and their continuous care for Country.
