From Now On / 2013
From Now On, 2013, 4 sculptures, dimensions variable, mixed media, found and new materials, paint.
Morrinsville Wallace Gallery
A collaboration between three artists (Rohana Weaver, Kate van der Drift, and Clare Fleming) and two writers (Joan Fleming and Loveday Why), From Now On (No Garden of Eden) constructs a playful, hopeful vision of a post–disaster hereafter. With photography, sculpture, and found objects, the artists set the structures of the human world into conversation with impossibly “pristine” nature. Drawing on modern and contemporary thought about the “no–place” of Utopia, and the myth of a human/nature divide, this exhibition offers a celebratory, constructive sense of the human role in making more nature––from now on.
