22 oct. — 26 nov. 2022
Judith Reardon’s practice is informed by the concept of collaboration between artists and the more-than-human world. After the devastation of the Black Summer Bushfires in 2019-20, Reardon interrogated the impact of the fires through a process of observation, recording, and interaction. Reardon’s discovery of an abundance of fungi led to the artist’s collaboration with Mycelium, a root-like branching structure of fungus which creates organic shapes and transforms in unexpected ways. Playfully documenting Mycelium’s actions through video and animation, the artist prompts audiences to reflect on the state of the environment and encourage a more sustainable connection with the natural world.
