CORPORA TERRAE

4 - 18 May, 2023
How do we navigate the increasingly artificial environment of our day-to-day lives?
Corpora Terrae (Bodies From The Earth) embraces the romantic concept of nature as a model for tranquility. Influenced by the Australian landscape, Ivey approaches land as a living organism, through tones and textures of soil, clay and wood, as well as the reproductive systems of organisms springing beneath our feet.
In hope of illumination, she explores the tension between cultivated control and ancient systems of balance.
