Reflections From The Land: The Five Collective
A thought-provoking exhibition, challenging artists own perceptions of their
practice, through people, place and time. The narrative is captured through
physical approaches to making, materials qualities and curation. Concepts,
process, and inspirations echo one another through scale, sensitivity to materials,
a muted palette and questioning the limitations of their respective mediums.
Through quiet contemplation, walking, foraging, and making, five invite the Sway
community to collaborate in this curatorial exhibition responding to its landscape.
Through this work they aim to challenge, question, and provoke a response in the
viewer through the physical act of making.
