Seven artists observe layers of meaning attached to sites and artifacts encountered in the Collie region. They notice the mapping and movement of land, water and fauna as cultural formations echoed in processes of alteration in their own printmaking, drawing, and shaping of clay.
Aware of being visitors to Collie and Noongar Country, the Perth-based artists reflect on landscapes as sites of flux (mining sites, riverscapes, lakes) rather than as fixed and static places. All the while however, the ghosts of memory and recollection remain as traces, lines and folds in the land mirrored in their artforms. Seven Forms offers viewers an altered way of seeing familiar places and things. The artists create work inspired by Collie while bringing to the task their ability to produce material formations that connect industrial culture and the physical world. This is done in ways that resonate with concern at environmental disruption and optimism at opportunity for change. Artists: Susanna Castleden, Monika Lukowska, Melanie McKee, Alana McVeigh, Layli Rakhsha, Sarah Robinson and Sue Starcken. |
