This Rollershutter Art piece has been created as part of the Mparntwe Street Art Festival 2024 in conjunction with Red Hot Arts and proudly sponsored by Activate Alice.
Cross-section of another time takes its graphic lead from a previous wall mounted sculpture piece published through friends and associates
Melbourne Design Week 2022. This earlier work was titled cross-section of time, map of wonder, and the egg of a wren. The work expresses the idea (and reality) that the cells that make 'us' have been part of the ongoing earthly exchange of matter and energy since the planet first pulled itself together. The work uses an unorthodox mix of materials as a method to undermine any hierarchy, illustrating the collaborative entanglement of planetary processes and giving all things in their current form value and agency to be in relation to each other. Recalibrating to the reality of what makes us, what we are, gives us a moment to dissolve into the poly-temporal states that we simultaneously occupy, and the cellular cosmology and belonging that that offers.
The Artist
For
Elliat Rich the design process is a creative translation between materials and
culture, alive to a broader context of power and social value. Based within the
complex socio-bio-historical ecology of Mparntwe Alice Springs, Rich works with
many respected clients and collaborators within central Australia and
nationally. Through her limited-edition objects Rich responds to the sentience
of the planet through mythology as a way to nest and communicate knowledges,
experience and otherness. Lead by curiosity, enriched through wonder and always
calling on the possibilities of the imagination.
