In this body of work Darwin based artist Talitha Kennedy examines the human relationship with nature in small sculptures and drawings.
Talitha Kennedy’s small hand-stitched sculptures are inspired by the idea of holding a mini-world in your hands.
‘Humans have the power to make big changes to the world. The capability of our technologies give us the power to destroy the land –deforest, make a huge hole in the ground for mining, avert rivers to dam, move mountains for roads. Geographic forms are themselves in transition, formed by moving tectonic plates in constant states of erosion as everything transforms by entropy.
The land as a body, an organism –alive and with spirit’
