Melt - Exhibition
Having all spent time in the Polar regions, the artists in Melt draw on their
phenomenological experiences and encounters to convey the essence of these
special places.
Their work addresses climate change – temperature, disappearance and
evanescence – and the ways the artists have been moved psychologically by these
environments.
Artists Dee Copland (New Zealand), Lesley Duxbury, Kirsten Haydon
(Australia/New Zealand). Essay by Lisa Byrne.
