‘And The Stars Came Out’ exhibition
‘And The Stars Came Out’ exhibition at Creative Space, Curl Curl
Contemporary fibre artist, Catriona Pollard’s solo exhibition ‘And The Stars Came Out’ explores our spiritual connection to nature using woven sculpture to access the visceral and organic landscapes of spirit within nature.
The sculptures of foraged vines and recycled metal wire references the ancient basketry technique of looping that has been used across human cultures for tens of thousands of years. The looping creates patterns and a harmonious rhythm that the artist witnesses in nature.
The exhibition explores how the invisible, non-material realm can uncover the psyche of our place in the landscape, with the objective of reaching beyond the human narrative of the landscape.
By sharing dialogue with the materials and allowing them to inform the narrative of the artwork, it means that stories are formed and shared from the landscape in transformational ways – in a language that provides new meanings and relationships with spirit, nature, humans, and the landscape – and the interconnectedness of all.
