Honey Long & Prue Stent, Touching Pool, 2019, Installation view Carlton Library Light Boxes, September 2022.
HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT in The Carlton Library Light Boxes
Inspired by the touching pool often found at aquariums and the sensorial connections with nature they elicit, this series speaks to the interconnectedness of bodies and environments as well as the conflicted and estranged relationship we have with the more-than-human world. Using a pared down visual language of colour, texture, and form, Touching Pool captures performative encounters between the artists' own bodies and the natural environment. In these works, synthetic materials blend and merge the body and landscape. Up close and abstracted, animals and riverbeds contain a sense of fluidity and vibrancy which can be felt throughout the series, revealing sights/sites of commonality and connection.
The public art light boxes are located on the exterior wall of the library on Newry Street, near the corner of Rathdowne Street.
Until 20 March 2023
JANET LAURENCE interviewed by Radio Adelaide
JANET LAURENCE features in a fantastic interview with Radio Adelaide about her time at Casey Research Station as the 2021 Antarctic Arts Fellow.
Explaining the process of creating her new series "Ice has a memory and the colour is blue" Laurence remarks,
“I had a studio in the science building, and one of the glaciologists came in which a huge chunk of ice for me to make artwork with. I suddenly went oh god I can actually use Antarctic glacial ice to make works. So, I made a series about ice melting which I thought was a fantastic metaphor about climate change.”

"May their memory be a blessing is a traditional Jewish expression said for the dead, to comfort the bereaved and to honour the memory of those they mourn. I have used this honorific as the title of the work to speak of Jewish families lost in the Holocaust." - Anne Zahalka

THE EDGE OF THE SPHERE
THE EDGE: OF THE SPHERE
NOW ON AT ARC ONE GALLERY
The cooled and hardened outer layer of planet Earth, the crust, is anywhere between 5 and 70 kilometres thick. The topsoil that sustains human life can be measured in centimetres. The edge holds everything. We look up to the stars, out to the ocean, into the core, and these things provoke awe and wonder in us.
In this exhibition ARC ONE presents three artists intimate with the mysteries of the sphere and its limit, the edge.
Featuring the work of DANI MARTI, JANET LAURENCE and, for the first time at ARC ONE, DESMOND LAZARO
Exhibition open until 8 October.
