About the book
On a wild and remote research island between Australia and Antarctica, Dominic Salt and his three children live as caretakers. This island is home to seabirds and seals, black sand beaches and windswept mountains, and a library housing many thousands of seeds from all over the world.
Living in isolation, the Salt family’s lives are turned upside down when a mysterious woman washes up on their shores. Why is she here? What secrets is she keeping from them – and what secrets are they keeping from her? A stunning love letter to the wilderness and to our world; a novel of heart-stopping twists, dizzying beauty and ferocious love, Wild Dark Shore is a story about the impossible choices we make to protect the people we love, even as the world around us is collapsing.

Exhibition Tours // ESSSENSSSE
2025-07-19 11:00 - 12:00 | Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, 70 -78 Keppel Street, Bathurst, New South Wales, 2795, Australia
Exhibition Tours // ESSSENSSSE
Join a FREE, guided exhibition tour by BRAG staff on Saturdays at 11am!
Free, all welcome, RSVP online or at gallery reception.
Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) presents ESSSENSSSE, a joyful work about healing and new beginnings by acclaimed contemporary artist HOSSEI (NSW), guest curated by Tesha Malott.
ESSSENSSSE is an aquatic ecosystem that explores the tenacity of the human spirit, stripping away corporeal human qualities and revealing what’s underneath. ESSSENSSSE follows HOSSEI’s exploration of creating costumes that ‘heal’. Featuring a cast of 16 other-worldly sea creatures, ESSSENSSSE transitions from a series of dynamic and joyful performances into a sensory, large-scale installation, in which visitors are surrounded by a playful, 100% tactile landscape.
ESSSENSSSE began when HOSSEI became fascinated by the sand dollar sea creatures— their shape, features, and how in mediaeval times it was truly believed that sand dollars were mermaid currency. When looking at the sand dollar, HOSSEI realised that if you were to remove the physical characteristics of a human body, you would be left with a mouth and an anus, just like the sand dollar. It is this idea that compelled HOSSEI to make the sand dollar an emblem of the show. An entry point and an exit, not just with food, but in the sense of discerning which energies come through and nourish the insides, and which are let out. ESSSENSSSE is about letting go and being one with the spirit and embracing its purity and vulnerability.
A Verge Gallery exhibition, touring in partnership with Museums & Galleries of NSW, supported by the University of Sydney and proudly funded by the NSW Government. Verge Gallery is supported by the University of Sydney Union.
