A half tonne explosives bag, strung up and sagging, leaks black fluid, its half dead presence bleeding out onto the floor. A minuscule screen flashes text of warning and outrage, a furious energy reduced to a micro scale easily overlooked. Helen Reddy’s optimistic anthem I Am Woman slowed to 50 beats per minute wavers around them, stretched and dragged under.
Collaboration with artist Kelly Doley. Commissioned by Campbelltown Arts Centre for the Catching Light exhibition as part of ISEA 2013.
