“Once were Trees” Exhibition dates 23.8 - to 23.9.24
Julia Christey’s enduring interest lies in the interface of human agency and our environment in its beautiful, dramatic and damaged form. She explores disruptions to our ecological network by drawing on her experience, memory and emotional response to this complex landscape. Conceptually and technically, Julia uses erasure to explore the sense of loss and destabilisation of our ecology. She considers habitat destruction and catalogues the passage of time to create an uncomfortable tension representing an uncertain future. Once were Trees celebrates our remaining primordial native bush as well as setting out a challenge as to how we can integrate better into the complex system that is our ecology. ”
