It turned constantly powered by a solar battery. A large mass of fine white tendrils slides between the root system of a plant and a human nervous system. A suspended root system, the work is entirely hand-made from thermoplastic embedded with photoluminescent powder so it glows ice blue in the dark. As this complex, anchored network of fine tendrils grew, the pandemic was unfolding… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578720c0e4fcb577ca639216/1678149977990-EHO7XWN4LJN3MZ6Z8A1J/After%25252BHans_11144.jpg The Taken Path https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578720c0e4fcb577ca639216/1750145918542-52PR45G8L8MNVPVZYH3Q/TP+1080+x+1080.jpg The Taken Path https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578720c0e4fcb577ca639216/1750050174493-P69L5WLHKUXJ9MNCHLTT/i-Scream-Lady_7409%2Bcopy.jpg The Taken Path - Wall of preserved consequences: I-scream-lady, 2024. Fallen red gum branches found Tungkillo, South Australia, thermoplastic, paint, repurposed vintage red cedar column, 830 mm x 330 mm x 110 mm The figure is constructed from several fallen branches and twigs from an ancient red gum found on arid farmland in Tungkillo, South Australia. To achieve the illusion of a singular, naturally occurring form required patience, skilful carving and some unorthodox construction techniques. Whilst not originally intended, I-scream-lady’s outstretched arms and crossed legs, attached to a red cedar column are suggestive of a crucifix, a sacrifice. Wall of preserved consequences is a series of three wall-mounted works: Twister, I-scream-lady and Bloodwood, intended as a series of open-ended narratives. The materials are mostly found, gathered and salvaged from farmlands, urban roadsides, carparks and demolition sites. The forms themselves present a deliberate conundrum of an indeterminate time and place; they are part manufactured, part organic and part synthetic; they are objet trouvés, relics of worship, lucky charms, documents of the past, the present and portents of the future. http://catherinetruman.com.au/contact daily 0.75 2017-12-13 http://catherinetruman.com.au/about daily 0.75 2026-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578720c0e4fcb577ca639216/47cd590a-8b33-4a8e-bd73-5c1819c05183/Catherine_Truman_Portrait-26.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
