Curated by Dr Anne-Marie Jean, Material Nature looks to the power of materials to engage our sensory understanding of the natural world.
Works from ceramic pieces and works on paper to painting and expanded painting by artists Ros Auld, Jahnne Pasco-White, John Peart, Ana Pollak, Annika Romeyn and Savanhdary Vongpoothorn, and artists from the Buku-Larrngay Mulka Art Centre at Yirrkala, Arnhem Land, Manini Gumana and Garawan Wanambi, invite contemplation of our inter-relations with ecologies, encompassing ethical and political questions and proposing relations that extend beyond human-centred perspectives.
