Two
artists go for a walk at Kamay, Botany Bay National Park
Until 5 July 2014
Slot is located at the start of Botany Road. This exhibition takes the other end of this urban artery as its inspiration - a wild landscape where the city meets the sea. It is the shared journey of two artists - Janice Fieldsend and Marie McMahon - and while their working styles are extremely individual, their passion 'to explore how nature becomes incorporated into culture'. as Jan describes, unifies their work. Their regular walks to this landscape over a prolonged period have brought about an alert synthesis in the work - one the found object more literally, while the other the texture and meter of that walk. Both have deep embedded poetics of location, history, time and memory.
