Diana Baker Smith explores the contested histories of Sydney’s built environment through the work of sculptor Margel Hinder, 1906–1995. The exhibition presents archival material alongside new work, including a video installation using dance-based storytelling to respond to the migratory history of Hinder’s sculpture Growth Forms, 1959.
“Dance becomes an embodied way to trace the movement of Hinder’s sculpture across the city and a way to honour the methods that underpinned Hinder’s approach to sculpture, one that was attuned to the movement of bodies through space,” says Baker Smith.
