HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT | JOHN YOUNG

Oceans from here is an exhibition of contemporary photography exploring the aesthetics of water and its ebb and flow as a global life force. Currently showing at Gosford Regional Gallery, it features the work of HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT, and JOHN YOUNG.

Ten artists selected by the Australian Centre for Photography have responded to water as a vital element, which flows through the land to the seas and fills the atmosphere of our planet. Several of the artists reinforce notions of an Australian identity so closely tied to the oceans that surround this nation island. Others immerse the viewer in a metaphorical ocean that surrounds, defines and moves through us all.

The exhibition continues in Gosford until 1 September.

HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT are featured in the March/April edition of Vogue Living Australia, on sale now.
In the profile, the artists describe their decade-long collaborative practice: 'we want to connect with the landscape that we're drawn to, using materials as a medium between the body and landscape - it creates a bridge...there is this idea that nature is passive; that it's seperate from us, we are trying to engage with landscape in a way that is inquisitive, trying to dissolve distinction.'

HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT are featured in issue 45 of Artist Profile, out today. 

The collaborative artists have written about their process: "As two friends who first started working 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."

JOHN YOUNG, HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT

‘Oceans from here’ at the Australian Centre for Photography in Sydney is currently on view. Featuring the work of JOHN YOUNG and HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT, the exhibition explores the aesthetics of water, and its ebb and flow as a global life force. John Young says of his work (above): "Nature is not only fragile, majestic and sublime in the old Kantian sense - but, as Virilio would have it, the ocean may well be frightful and monstrous in its answering back to the anthropocentric progressiveness of modernity’s folly".

The exhibition continues until 20 October.

Stent is quoted: "We just evolved from hanging out and making things, playing, and it slowly evolved into an art practice." Long adds, "It's really nice making art in a way where it's just as much about the relationship as it is the end product."

HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT's exhibition Phanta Firma has been reviewed in The Age today.

John McDonald writes: 'The anonymous figures are intended to be both alluring and unsettling. In conjoining the female body with the landscape, the artists say that they are liberating energies and celebrating "dualities of desire".'
