THE exhibition appropriately titled “Airborne”, currently showing at Yarrila Arts and Museum (YAM) Coffs Harbour from 28 June to 10 August, demonstrates the synergies of artists who collaborate.
Sara Bowen, Penelope Lawry and Christian Courcier-Jones bring together a multi-disciplinary range of mediums to printmaking, which illustrate environmental themes at the intersection of nature and culture.
Peneolpe Lawry told News Of The Area that the work examines “the insidious infiltration of bio plastics in urban, natural and protected environments”.
“Seeds, spores, pollens and insects are also part of this entrancing, often secret life, enfolding amongst us,” she said.
The work operates at different registers of scale, highlighting the infinitesimal detail of fragmentary pieces of the human and more-than human world.
The collective body of work adorns the walls in the orbit of a centrally located mobile by Sara Bowen titled “Infiltration (my breath/your breath)”.
The intricate detail, ephemeral and subliminal, is an arresting combination of shapes, colours and patterns.
Christine Courcie-Jones told News Of The Area,“My prints, paintings and artist books explore the inseparability of love and loss, and the cycles of nature from seed to death and decay.”
The multi-medium materials used provide a sense of texture that ranges in from rough to smooth.
The show runs at YAM until 10 August and warrants several viewings.
