Opening: Rosemary Laing

Combining sculptures and photographic images, Rosemary Laing’s powerful installation responds to the environmental crisis affecting the landscape she has pictured in her large-scale scenes over many decades.

Re-assembling numerous small-scale broken and worn fragments from the shells and rocks of coastal New South Wales, she has re-animated these remains of the natural world into ‘performers’ who re-act to their changing situation.

Laing’s poignant and timely installation of re-imagined debris and close-up photographs considers the effects of climate change and speaks to the delicate balance between nature, culture and survival.
