2009

Nesting

Kate Just (VIC)

Artist Statement

This work is one of five sculptural works exhibited as part of A New Day in a Strange Land at Nellie Castan Gallery (July 2009) which continued my ongoing interest in transformation, metamorphosis and adaptation. Nesting imagines how various natural, human and man-made forms might collide to make a new world, or at least new species. The harmonious, almost beautiful combination of human, plant (next) and animal in the work becomes a proposition for thinking about our relationship to the natural world and our necessarily identification with it for both spiritual and ecological survival.
