A chaotic and sensory jumble of everyday materials sourced from the artist's many environments was set within frames; grid forms devised to separate, elevate and control.
The viewer was invited to browse this ‘curiosity shop’, to find familiar or curious things that stimulate pleasure or surprise. Chance meetings, gifts of food and conversation, text pieces and games reveal stories of connection. Engaged, the viewer became integrated in the work, activating it, then flipping the position of subject and object to level the ‘natural order’.
A study of the simultaneously distanced and interconnected relationship humans have with everything.
This program takes place on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded - this land is stolen land. We pay respects to Wurundjeri Elders, past, present and emerging, to the Elders from other communities and to any other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders who might encounter or participate in the program.
Lizzy Simpson lives and works in Melbourne, Australia. Driving her work is a lifelong interest in natural history, human history and ecology.
Simpson uses a variety of media often combining video, living and growing things and text into immersive and participatory installations. She graduated from the Master of Fine Art from RMIT University 2017 where she was awarded the Mary Oliphant Prize and the Project 11 residency to Yogyakarta Indonesia. She has exhibited nationally and internationally in Europe and Asia.
