She has employed diverse materials to studio, photograph: explore the natural world in all its beauty and complexity, and to highlight the environmental Jacquie Manning. challenges it faces today. The exhibition reflects on the key themes in Laurence’s work: the fragility of the natural world, its plight and potential restoration. Curated by MCA’s Chief Curator, Rachel Kent, the exhibition includes a number of seminal works from the artist’s career, with loans from public institutions around Australia and the MCA Collection work Cellular Gardens (Where Breathing Begins). The works on display range from her alchemical works of the early 1990s that use metal plates, minerals, organic substances and lightboxes, through to her installations of the 2000s and beyond, which incorporate plant and animal specimens within transparent vitrines and ‘wunderkammer’ environments. Central to the exhibition is a major new commission for the MCA, entitled Theatre of Trees, which brings together the last decade of Laurence’s research into plants, their medicinal and healing powers, and trees. Set in MCA’s Level 1 North Gallery, this installation comprises four parts: Forest (Theatre of Trees), Knowledge (Tree of Life), Wonder (Herbarium) and Desire (Elixir Lab). MCA Director, Elizabeth Ann Macgregor OBE, said, “Janet Laurence: After Nature is a captivating and imaginative response to the critical issues regarding the environment through the lens of one of Australia’s most brilliant artistic minds. Janet’s work addresses serious environmental issues facing Australia from the coral bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef to the deforestation in Tasmania. We hope that the exhibition will provoke new ways of thinking and responding to the effects of climate change, and the impact that humankind has made on the natural world.” MCA PRESENTS JANET LAURENCE’S FIRST MAJOR SURVEY Laurence has exhibited widely both in Australia and internationally.

  • Elizabeth Woodhams Thesis (PDF 1MB)
    Application for the Award of Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Thesis Title Memories are Not Silence: the trauma of witnessing and art making. A Phenomenological exploration of my lived experience as an artist. Candidate Elizabeth Jean Deshon Woodhams, BTh., MA 2004 Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy with the Creative Industries Research and Application Centre (CIRAC) at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) i TITLE OF THESIS: Memories are Not Silence; the trauma of witnessing and art making. A phenomenological exploration of my lived experiences as an artist. ABSTRACT This research investigates formative and definitive lived experiences as two narrative forms - art works and writing. The research seeks to uncover the essential features of these experiences (dominated as they are by my experiences of AIDS and the after effects of war) and bring the two narratives together as a reflexive and reflective dialogue. The 'lens' of my art practice (both written and visual) is predominantly that of a landscape painter -be it 'landscape of faces' (portraits), landscapes of the human form (figurative) or the more traditional descriptions of landscape (especially deserts). Phenomenological research is a particular mode of describing and understanding the contours of lived experience. By a process of self-reflection and critical analysis this research explores various understandings of landscape so as to uncover their structure and meaning and to come to a deeper understanding of how those elements influence my art making. KEY WORDS: memories, silence, art, artists, women artists, art making, trauma, witnessing, phenomenological research, lived experience, writing, HIV/AIDS, hetrosexual voices, war.

Unlike our previous invited artists, Janet was long represented by Sherman Galleries, the large-scale commercial gallery whose twenty-one year history (1986–2007) preceded and continues to underpin SCAF’s work. Janet and I, together with Associate Director Amanda Henry – the institution’s highly valued, longstanding exhibition designer and artists’ helpmate and confidante – have worked together since Janet joined Sherman Galleries in 1999. Corporate projects in Qantas VIP lounges in and out of Australia, and large-scale pp. 58–59 government commissions at Sydney’s Olympic Park, Changi Airport in Singapore and p. 65 the Australian War Memorial in Hyde Park, London, amongst numerous others, kept a dedicated gallery staff member and Sherman Group in-house lawyer busy with contracts, currency conversions, financial hedging and staggered payment schedules. Janet’s imaginative drive and creative leadership produced the goods from within her laboratory- like studio. The Sherman team documented, described and supported her endeavours in a complex symbiotic process that felt part professional and part confessional.

  • Edge of the Trees: Aboriginality and Australian Identity
    Edge of the Trees: Aboriginality and Australian Identity Kathryn Petropoulos Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Technology Sydney 'Edge of the Trees; Aboriginality and Australian Identity' is a definitive investigation in to the dispossession of Aboriginality in Australian culture. This essay traces the history of Aboriginal culture within the larger Australian culture, and the interplay of this with the traditional modern and post- modern ideals. The chapter focuses on the art installation 'Edge of The Trees' to explore the traditional and modern formations of Australian identity, as well as postmodernist interpretations. This chapter illustrates the ways in which identity can be a cultural construct, and one which is continually transforming. Keywords: Aboriginal Identity, Tradition, Postmodernism, Modernity From Russian folk dances to the Maori haka, from Chinese Opera to Hawaiian Hula, ‘traditional culture’ is performed in national and local contexts, for tourists and dignitaries and in local celebrations (Cowlishaw in Mythologising culture, 2010). Within the past two decades Australia has witnessed unprecedented acts of reconciliation that have promoted social equality, epitomised by the Sorry Speech of 2008 that broke through an era of cultural amnesia seeking to forget the racial inequalities that shape Australia’s past. An increasing acknowledgement of Aboriginal presence has revealed itself in the form of artworks, especially in Fiona Folley and Janet Laurence’s Edge of the Trees, as well as cultural displays, social gatherings, and parliamentary decisions, with Aboriginal motifs dominating the representation of Australia as a nation in many public outlets. However, whilst these actions signify an inversion of the forgotten Aboriginal community, it must be asked whether this public and ‘official nurturing’ of Aboriginal expression (Cowlishaw 2009, p.

  • JANET LAURENCE: AFTER NATURE Essay by Chief Curator Rachel Kent
    JANET LAURENCE: AFTER NATURE Essay by Chief Curator Rachel Kent Nature needs no home; it is home. David George Haskell, ‘The Songs of Trees’, 2017 Janet Laurence: After Nature is presented at the MCA from 01.03. – 10.06.19. For over 30 years Janet Laurence has explored the interconnection of all living things – animal, plant, mineral – through her multi-disciplinary practice. Working across painting, sculpture, installation, photography and video, she has employed diverse materials to explore the natural world in all its beauty and complexity, as well as the environmental challenges it faces today: the age of the Anthropocene. Laurence’s practice has encompassed small objects through to vast installations. Increasingly, over the years, she has worked beyond the museum’s walls to transform public sites through her immersive installations and environments using evocative natural materials such as ash and straw, minerals and oxides, living plant matter, corals, taxidermy birds, and more. Researching historical collections and drawing on the rich holdings of natural history museums, her practice has brought together various conceptual threads over time that encompass themes of memory and matter; alchemy and transformation; ephemerality and transience; threatened creatures and environments; and notions of healing and physical, as well as cultural, restoration. Empathy lies at the core of Laurence’s multi-dimensional practice, expressed in her concern for, and nurture of, the fragile objects and creatures within the works. It also reflects her desire that we – as viewers, and human beings sharing the planet with other species – identify with and care for them as well. In this regard her work speaks to DOMINIK MERSCH GALLERY [email protected] 1/75 McLachlan Avenue, Rushcutters Bay NSW 2011 (02) 9368 1999 essential questions around reciprocity, understanding and co-existence: the fundamentals of survival and growth in a perilous age.
