Exhibition: Meet me in the Background (expired event)

An immersive body art project that explores our connection with nature via body art in environments across the south west of Western Australia

Meet me in the Background showcases the collaborative journey of artist Lora Flora and photographer Jamie McWilliam throughout the unique south west of Western Australia. Their body of work explores how we are all deeply affected by our environment. We constantly transform with it, sometimes merging, sometimes dissolving. Body painting is a form of a ceremony, which challenges us to see that we are not separate from our surroundings. We are nature. We thrive in biodiversity as does nature. Natural surroundings can ground, connect, and balance us, whilst industrial or man-made environments can cause a sense of disconnect, starkness and uniformity. Our survival and emotional state depends on our connection with nature. These series of artworks aim to communicate the unique energy of each environment through the emotion of the models. The opening night will feature live body art performances for viewers to actively take part in the ceremony. Come and observe, listen, and reflect.
