This is an ongoing series of documentation of studio experimentation, working towards an exhibition titled Landscapes in Liquidation. The show will feature sculptural photographic works depicting liquid landscapes of submersed local botanicals, immortal jellyfish and mating cephalopods in a state of melting, subliming, foaming and bubbling. The works are to be accompanied by a live performance of experimental imbibable fluids. I received a City of Melbourne Covid 19 Quick Response grant to develop exhibitable, sculptural forms of documentation from the chemistry performances, experimental studio processes and aquatic art adventures that have defined my work for the past three years, as a means to share work that has previously only existed in ephemeral and digital form.
