Holdfast (macrocystis angustifolia/giant kelp) 2007 tin, aluminiumThis morning, my first stop was a visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art down at Circular Quay. It is one of my favourite Galleries. The main focus of my visit today was the work of one of my favourite artists - Fiona Hall. It was a wonderful exhibition - a survey of her work that featured some of her photography, sculpture, installation and video works from the 1970s to the present day. Although Hall was born in Sydney in 1953, she is currently based in Adelaide.
Quoting from the MCA booklet of events and exhibitions - "... Hall's art reflects a sustained fascination with the wonders of nature and in recent years has shown an increasing concern at the impact of humans on it. Her work draws upon fields as disparate as literature, politics, finance, science,media, sexuality and gardening. Seductive to the eye and challenging to the mind, Hall transforms everyday materials into complex and allusive art works."
