Helvi Apted, Elise Cakebread, Janelle Evans, Rebecca George, Phong Chi Lai, Carolyn Menzies, Tamara Russell, Britt Salt and Shannon Slee.
In an era marked by loneliness and dislocation, Menzies translates a deep yearning to reconnect with the natural world into sculptural form. She manipulates checkered and plaid blankets to create overlapping and makeshift demarcations on suspended formations, overlaying them with fragments of needlework.
Drawing upon remnants from her personal history, the artist seeks to unravel the complex concepts and ideas these objects symbolically carry. She believes that looking backward is a path to finding a way forward and that embracing disorder, unravelling, and rewilding might allow us to situate ourselves more fully within the landscape.
