Exhibition Launch | Metamorphosis: Artists in collaboration with plants.
Event description
FORM Building a State of Creativity presents Metamorphosis: Artists in collaboration with plants.
Inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, this exhibition honours the beguiling magic and transformative power of the natural world. The exhibiting artists have engaged the plant kingdom as co-creators in their work, asking us to reconsider humans' assumed dominance over the environment.
As in Ovid's epic poem, a series of alchemical transformations are apparent in each artist's process, with the exhibition works featuring photography, drawing, textiles, ceramics and jewellery technique.
This exhibition is the fifth in FORM’s Southern Exposure series, celebrating the talent of artists who live or have a connection to Western Australia's southern regions. Metamorphosis invites viewers to explore the shifting boundaries we share with nature, but beyond artistic expression, it also serves as an important reminder of the need to protect the diverse and complex ecology of the land on which we are privileged to live.
Metamorphosis continues until Saturday, 13 July 2024.
