FREAK OF NATURE

Invited to perform for local site-specific performance event 'Circling the Brink', situated in Telopea Gardens, Emerald, I created Freak of Nature with textile artist and co-performer Kiki Ando and sound maker Myfanwy Hunter.

A garden is already a contrived version of nature. Climate change has rendered nature unreliable through human manipulation. We imagine possible futures where, through interweaving and cross-breeding between natural and synthetic worlds, something new emerges, whilst other forms of life can no longer survive.

BodyPlaceProject is based on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people in Corhanwarrabul/Dandenong Ranges and Narrm/Melbourne, and undertakes work in many other locations. We pay deep respect to First Nations elders past and present, who have listened to Country and danced, sung and told stories in and about their places for millennia, to share knowledge and to care for Country and people. ​
​They are the first site-specific artists!
