Group Show – More than the some of its parts 4 FEB TO 5 APR 2023
More than the some of its parts brings together an ambitiously scaled ensemble of works in an installation that seeks to give a unique perspective on this special place locals call home.
Kellie’s video work Big Sky was exhibited in More than the some of its parts.
Considering the Sunshine Coast and the ever changing continuum of the wide ocean Big Sky offers us a timeless score. This video and sound work emulates the metered motion of the coastal landscape in attempt to radiate a sense of awareness and meditative calm. Through a continuous loop and hypnotic rhythm this work employs; the circle, video, colour and repetition using photographs of the beach.
As a coastal dweller I am witness to the majesty of the ever changing landscape. Magnificent colours, meteorological phenomena and masterful formations command my attention daily. The splendour of this ancient country invites an internal and external mindfulness. This work is an audio visual mantra, offering monastic bass tones and mesmerising filmic rhythms in attempt to encourage the viewer into a state of consciousness. A state that commands awareness, presence and respect. Big Sky is a memorising reminder that we are but tiny in the cosmic substance that is Deep Time.
