IMAGE: Honey Long & Prue Stent, Oil Spill, 2022, Archival pigment print, 87 x 72 cm, edition of 5.
HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT have been featured online in an Artist Profile article.
“As two friends who first started taking photos together when we were sixteen years old, our artistic process sprung from a place of curiosity, impulse and desire. This sense of playfulness has become the foundational element with which we continue to work. Although precognitive at the time, we seemed to recognise a mutual desire to explore our female bodies, sexuality, and surrounding natural environment as a way of feeling connected to the space we were occupying.”
