GORGE
VOID presents Gorge, part 1 of a collaborative project by Jennifer Mehra and Tim Maslen, two Australian artists living and working in London. Woodland, Part 2 takes place in Sydney's CBD during the Olympics. Gorge/Woodland are ambitious installations that refer to the symbiotic relationship of Nature and Culture. Gorge is an installation that aims to transform the space into a fictitious landscape through which the viewer will pass. Eroded rock faces created out of layers of books, seemingly jut out of the gallery floor. Fragile plant forms cast in polyester resin emerge out of the open pages.
The final image is an optimistic portrayal of the inherent balance between nature and culture.
