A tin garden shed sits quietly by the sea. Inside, it’s dark, warm, cocooned from the wind and salt. A single aperture faces the ocean, casting light across the walls — a vast seascape and a horizon, shaped by the shifting light. It’s not quite an image — more a suggestion, a feeling, an atmosphere, that changes as the light moves. And when the sun goes down, it disappears. 

Created by Fremantle-based artist Duncan Wright, Veil transforms a place of deep personal resonance: his late grandfather’s studio. The shed’s façade is covered in years of careful inscriptions — remarks, quiet thoughts and family occasions — once scrawled by artist Gareth Morse. A place of deep reflection and experimentation for his grandfather. Veil is a posthumous collaboration across generations — an attempt to glimpse what lies beyond the visible.
