Connections flow on to landscape
KICKARTS latest exhibition explores movement through landscapes and how that movement shapes the way we view the landscape.
Wayfaring is a body of work created by Trinity Beach resident Jacqueline Scotcher as part of her PhD in Philosophy from James Cook University. It will be officially opened at the Abbott St gallery tonight.
“This exhibition is looking at human-nature connections, so how walking in the local terrain can forge deeper, more meaningful relationships with the natural environment,” Scotcher said.
The exhibition includes a sculptural work created using canvas, wire and acrylic paint. Displayed on the gallery floor, Unfolding relates to movement and shifting viewpoints.
“It could be an aerial view of terrain from a distance, or it could also be a close-up view, a microscopic view of leaves or pebbles or moss,” she said.
Wayfaring is on display at KickArts Contemporary Arts’ Gallery Two until April 22.
