An exhibition of works by Meg Nielsen & Peter Nielsen, presenting their paintings, drawings, & photography in conjunction with objects found, restored, recycled & created during their journey through life…… celebrating the Earth & resolutely Seeking the Symbiocene.Peter Nielsen will be showcasing a restored car from the 1920's in the gallery whist Black Train perform around the vehicle. This is going to be a fun night.
Meg Nielsen's artworks explore our connection to nature. Her beautiful works speak of connection and love. This is a powerful and humbling exhibition that will ignite your soul as you are reminded of our connection to our Mother Earth.
Guest artist Terri Nicholson has been invited to showcase some of her exquisite pyrography work & sculptures as nature-based art that complements the theme of Seeking the Symbiocene. Terri Nicholson draws inspiration for her art from her deep connection with the rainforest of Terania Creek, where she was raised during the time of the historic protests to protect it from logging. She loves bringing together the elements of fire and wood, depicting intricate botanical scenes in her pyrography/burn art pieces. Further alchemy is explored to bring forth her botanical eco-prints on both cloth and paper, using the natural dyes of the native species themselves. Another earthy medium, clay, is used for her sculptures of earth mummas. This is a little sneak preview of her exhibition in June next year in line with World Environment Day, at Serpentine Gallery.
The Symbiocene will be that period in Earth’s history where humans symbiotically re-integrate themselves, emotionally, psychologically & technologically into nature & natural systems…. utterly rejecting the current destructive despotism of the Anthropocene. (Glenn Albrecht 2011)
There will be authentic South Indian Cuisine available on the night as well as the usual nibbles and fundraising bar for your enjoyment. We hope you can join us at the Serpentine Community Gallery, Opening Friday 1st Nov 2024 from 5.30– 8.30pm.
