PhotoAccess online
Four new exhibitions opened online at PhotoAccess this week, celebrating the outcomes of its 2021 artists' residencies. Experiments in Living [Melt] by Sammy Hawker (ACT); Surface Appearances by Eunie Kim (ACT); Light Materials by Caroline Huf (ACT); and 398 by Aloisia Cudmore (ACT). In Experiments in Living [Melt] Hawker investigates sites of the Anthropocene. She interacts with the often invisible temporal realities to create a visual image - water, salt, frost - and challenges us to reconsider the illusion of control we hold over the natural world. Hawker will speak with PhotoAccess's Caitlin Seymour-King on Thursday, October 28 at 7pm. In Surface Appearances, Kim uses materials and subjects from a contemporary Australian setting while conjuring the aesthetic of traditional Korean painting - exploring the immigrant experience of reconciling one identity with another. Huf's Light Materials is an exhibition of the artist's experimental "weaving" of film; traversing the digital and physical realms. Finally, 398 examines the experience of youth at the centre of post-digital and post-pandemic uncertainty where the only reliable sources of hope are the relationships we nurture. The Huw Davies Gallery will open to the public from November 2. See: photoaccess.org.au.
