Saskia Doherty with Louise Bourgeois and Stanya Kahn Coffee in the morgue

‘Coffee in the morgue’ presents a new suite of discrete sculptures by Saskia Doherty, presented alongside works by Louise Bourgeois and Stanya Kahn. This project forms part of Bus Projects’ ‘With Compliments’ series, that explores the way Australian artists locate their work within an international dialogue.

Referencing forensic and funereal techniques, Saskia Doherty’s sculptures draw on personal and familial memories to create a set of objects embodying anxiety, care, denial and desire.
