Envelop
2013, HD Video projection, 4:44 mins, No sound
In a world that is switched on 24/7, finding space to pause and reflect is challenging, if not impossible. The pace and rhythm of life brings us in and out of sync with others and the world around us. The constant flow of information interrupting and flooding our thoughts until we feel, at times, overwhelmed and submerged. So, how do we pause to filter and reflect? How can we find time to acknowledge experiences and the world around us unless we give ourselves time, a commodity that is not for sale yet is consumed constantly. If not careful, we can easily feel in a constant state of consumption and disconnect.
Envelop is a meditative work which seeks to create a sense of stillness in which to pause. It was shown as part of the exhibition FLOW in 2017 at the Counihan Gallery in Brunswick, Melbourne. FLOW was curated by Heather Hesterman. FLOW was a group exhibition that invited us to witness the ecological present whilst hearing the call of our common ecological future.
Participating artists: Colleen Boyle, Clara Brack, Garth Henderson, Heather Hesterman, Bridget Hillebrand, Penelope Hunt, Rebecca Mayo, Harry Nankin, Jen Rae, Dominic Redfern, Cameron Robbins, Sarah Tomasetti and Maurizio Toscano.
