Collapse, out of Iceland




the beauty in chaos
is the point of our
collapse


This work took over the Sue Benner Theatre at Metro Arts, June 26, 2010.
It was showcased alongside new works by Brisbane artists in performance, installation and visual arts as a part of Cross-Stitch: No Pluto, Just Stars curated by Lauren Clelland.

It was inspired by my time in Iceland while at Nes Artist Residency. Even though I was still at the residency when the show went up in Brisbane Australia, a dynamic collaboration between myself, Hamish Clift, Jasmin Coleman and Kat Danger Sawyer brought the work into being as an immersive environment with sound, lighting, masses of destruction, haze, bubbles, and dirt.

"Collapse" hints at the fragile state of chaos, and our humanity within it.
