Exhibitions: Robert Fielding and Susan Flavell (expired event)

Presenting two exhibitions for the Perth Festival - Robert Fielding (NT), 'Kinara munu Tjintu (Moon and Sun)', and Susan Flavell (WA), 'The Horn of the Moon, 13 Goddesses and their consorts'.

Revealing a complex and intertwined relationship with the spirit of the land, 'Kinara munu Tjintu [Moon and Sun]' showcases Fielding’s diverse practice through photography, print and video. Engaging with site-specific interventions and process-based practices, Fielding merges abandoned objects, natural elements and sacred language as an ongoing dance between artist and country upon which he works.

Seven years in the making, Walyalup based artist Susan Flavell’s 'The Horn of the Moon, 13 Goddesses and their consorts' is a beautiful and frightening carnival: a day of the dead procession, a celebration, a call to arms. Like a shelter housing mythical beasts and animate detritus, washed up on an apocalyptic tide, the darkened gallery spaces are overwhelmed with objects, revealed through shimmering spotlights.

Both artists connect to a range of material processes that come from a commitment to the places they live and work. While using different methods, both artists lovingly reclaim detritus to create new forms.
