FREE, NO BOOKING REQUIRED Verdant is an exhibition of collaborative works presented by Minaal Lawn and Sarah Parkes.
Minaal Lawn, working predominantly with ceramics, delves into themes of cultural identity and belonging through her practice located on Dja Dja Wurrung Country in Central Victoria. Sarah Parkes, living on Gunaikurnai Country in South Gippsland, knots and weaves narratives of place and home into her sculptural rope works.
Together, they draw on the complex relationship they have to the rural landscape they inhabit, expressing this exchange of ideas through a series of works specifically created for Verdant. The undeniable influence of the rural landscape, and its beauty, is explored both through material and narrative.
Repurposed silage wrap, the sporadic lilac hues of grass seed and familiar elements, such as the fence, the tree, form reference points in this exchange navigating new terrain.
