Sarah Kudirka

Find Each Other, the second in the midsummer series of shows at K U D I R K A held in June 2025 brought together pictures of people by three Scottish women artists: Ruby Pluhar, Gill Walton and Tilda Williams-Kelly.

Working in diverse media, and with strikingly different ideas, each of the artists centres the human figure. They do not work as a group and while they all knew the curator Sarah Kudirka, they did not previously know each other. Indeed having never worked or showed together before and met for the first time at the opening of the exhibition.

The title of the show was drawn from a Laurie Anderson song lyric, Sharkey’s Day:
at the beginning of the movie
they know they have to find each other
but they ride off in different directions
