My art explores the connections that surrounds human impact on islands. Since 2014 I have been investigating, with onsite research, small islands, World Heritage listed and isolated environments. Taking me to the Galapagos (Ecuador 2014), Faroe (the North Sea 2016) Lord Howe (NSW 2015) and Deception Islands (Antarctica 2017). Examining through immersive residencies as artist/tourist, traveller, observer, I look beyond the rhetoric to create artworks and installations that examine the impact of the Anthropocene and consumerism, on the Utopian destination. Through my interdisciplinary eco-critical vision creating a discourse via the traditions of printmedia, photography and drawing, to the new media of video, sound and installations.
Aura: Repetition, Reproduction, and the Mark of the Artist is a curatorial project I have been working on for the past year. The exhibition opens on Friday, July 21st at 6pm at Manly Art Gallery & Museum.
An exhibition of ten Australian artists, who use the perceived shortcomings of printmaking, to confound the viewer’s expectations of the medium and re-ignite the aura of the mechanically reproduced artwork. See wall-based prints, installations, sculpture and video from Alison Alder, Anna Kristensen, Ben Rak, Erica Seccombe, Gary Carsley, Judy Watson, Michael Kempson, Milan Milojevic, Samuel Tupou and Tony Curran.
