Deep Surface explores the fragility and impermanence of the natural landscape of lutruwita/Tasmania. Through study of local material elements sourced from significant sites around the island, the artist experiments with formulating natural pigments and colour. This process-based experimentation is translated onto raw fabrics that endure processes of staining, weathering and bleaching in the sun to form an ambiguous sense of place. The works are constructed as assemblages of materials; raw elements of the earth reacting and complimenting with one another, exposing the artist’s intimate encounter with nature.
India will hold a walkthrough of her solo exhibition Deep Surface at 10.30am, Saturday 25 February. India will speak on her painting process, relations to the environment and how her practice has been transformed through a new material focus.

How do we practice the rites and rights of Nature? Can we touch sense the sentience of trees? Does the fallen forest still resonate?
Styx Lament took place in an area of clear felled old-growth forest in the Styx Valley in November 2019, as a collaborative and embodied approach to environmental grief. A performance ritual exploring listening and lament as acts of sonic activism, rendering the senses receptive to place, exploring relations of care at a site of destruction.
The process began with a song, calling ancestors together with Ruth Langford at LongHouse. Followed by plant mediations, Skinner Releasing (somatic movement) and Deep Listening practices with SymbioLab. A group of 17 people joined in a 2 day ritual of movement, meditation, listening and sharing stories in the Styx Valley, between tall trees and logging coups. Carrying the body of a felled tree, slow walking to the end of the road, sitting in a circle on the stump of a sentinel, there was grief and an immanent sense that the forest still holds us.
A collaborative artistic process led by Julia Adzuki together with Patrick Dallard, Lisa Flack, Luke John Campbell, Rodrigo Diaz-Icasuriaga, Anna Wylie, Katrina Schlunke, Raku Pitt, Clare Pitt, Sara Wright, Tresa Briscoe-hough, Amalia Patourakis, Pema Choo, Sue Stack, Amy Barrows and Warwick Lloyd Mauger ‘daynu’.
Filmed and recorded by Tomas Björkdal in the Styx Valley.

Artist bio
SymbioLab is mobile laboratory for relational art, ecology and listening. Founded in 2009 by artists Julia Adzuki and Patrick Dallard, the vision is to respond to ecological grief and climate anxiety with multi-sensorial art experiences. Based in Sweden, SymbioLab has toured Europe with an intra-active aquaponic system; Eat and be Eaten, with edible plants and Garra Rufa fish, inviting direct participation in the food chain. Since 2016, SymbioLab has been working with resonance as a connective practice, making instruments and touring with bAUM, a tactile sound acoustic instrument, for experiencing the physicality of sound and awakening the senses. SymbioLab works in collaboration with other artists and researchers, as initiators of Styx Lament, The Shit Project; addressing local sewerage issues and the sound collective Ljudtornet. Together with Ljudtornet collaborators, Julia has initiated the Ministry for Environmental Grief, a group dedicated to singing laments for lost and vulnerable ecologies. Patrick is certified facilitator of Deep Listening (a sonic practice by P.Oliveros) and Julia is a certified teacher of Skinner Releasing Technique (a somatic movement practice by J.Skinner).

This process-based experimentation is translated onto raw fabrics that endure processes of staining, weathering and bleaching in the sun to form an ambiguous sense of place. The works are constructed as assemblages of materials; raw elements of the earth reacting and complimenting with one another, exposing the artist’s intimate encounter with nature.
India will hold a walkthrough of her solo exhibition Deep Surface at 10.30am, Saturday 25 February. India will speak on her painting process, relations to the environment and how her practice has been transformed through a new material focus.

How do we practice the rites and rights of Nature? Can we touch sense the sentience of trees? Does the fallen forest still resonate?
Styx Lament took place in an area of clear felled old-growth forest in the Styx Valley in November 2019, as a collaborative and embodied approach to environmental grief. A performance ritual exploring listening and lament as acts of sonic activism, rendering the senses receptive to place, exploring relations of care at a site of destruction.
The process began with a song, calling ancestors together with Ruth Langford at LongHouse. Followed by plant mediations, Skinner Releasing (somatic movement) and Deep Listening practices with SymbioLab. A group of 17 people joined in a 2 day ritual of movement, meditation, listening and sharing stories in the Styx Valley, between tall trees and logging coups. Carrying the body of a felled tree, slow walking to the end of the road, sitting in a circle on the stump of a sentinel, there was grief and an immanent sense that the forest still holds us.
A collaborative artistic process led by Julia Adzuki together with Patrick Dallard, Lisa Flack, Luke John Campbell, Rodrigo Diaz-Icasuriaga, Anna Wylie, Katrina Schlunke, Raku Pitt, Clare Pitt, Sara Wright, Tresa Briscoe-hough, Amalia Patourakis, Pema Choo, Sue Stack, Amy Barrows and Warwick Lloyd Mauger ‘daynu’.
Filmed and recorded by Tomas Björkdal in the Styx Valley.

SymbioLab is mobile laboratory for relational art, ecology and listening. Founded in 2009 by artists Julia Adzuki and Patrick Dallard, the vision is to respond to ecological grief and climate anxiety with multi-sensorial art experiences. Based in Sweden, SymbioLab has toured Europe with an intra-active aquaponic system; Eat and be Eaten, with edible plants and Garra Rufa fish, inviting direct participation in the food chain. Since 2016, SymbioLab has been working with resonance as a connective practice, making instruments and touring with bAUM, a tactile sound acoustic instrument, for experiencing the physicality of sound and awakening the senses. SymbioLab works in collaboration with other artists and researchers, as initiators of Styx Lament, The Shit Project; addressing local sewerage issues and the sound collective Ljudtornet. Together with Ljudtornet collaborators, Julia has initiated the Ministry for Environmental Grief, a group dedicated to singing laments for lost and vulnerable ecologies. Patrick is certified facilitator of Deep Listening (a sonic practice by P.Oliveros) and Julia is a certified teacher of Skinner Releasing Technique (a somatic movement practice by J.Skinner).

Styx Lament took place in an area of clear felled old-growth forest in the Styx Valley in November 2019, as a collaborative and embodied approach to environmental grief. A performance ritual exploring listening and lament as acts of sonic activism, rendering the senses receptive to place, exploring relations of care at a site of destruction.

How do we practice the rites and rights of Nature? Can we touch sense the sentience of trees? Does the fallen forest still resonate?
Styx Lament took place in an area of clear felled old-growth forest in the Styx Valley in November 2019, as a collaborative and embodied approach to environmental grief. A performance ritual exploring listening and lament as acts of sonic activism, rendering the senses receptive to place, exploring relations of care at a site of destruction.
The process began with a song, calling ancestors together with Ruth Langford at LongHouse. Followed by plant mediations, Skinner Releasing (somatic movement) and Deep Listening practices with SymbioLab. A group of 17 people joined in a 2 day ritual of movement, meditation, listening and sharing stories in the Styx Valley, between tall trees and logging coups. Carrying the body of a felled tree, slow walking to the end of the road, sitting in a circle on the stump of a sentinel, there was grief and an immanent sense that the forest still holds us.
A collaborative artistic process led by Julia Adzuki together with Patrick Dallard, Lisa Flack, Luke John Campbell, Rodrigo Diaz-Icasuriaga, Anna Wylie, Katrina Schlunke, Raku Pitt, Clare Pitt, Sara Wright, Tresa Briscoe-hough, Amalia Patourakis, Pema Choo, Sue Stack, Amy Barrows and Warwick Lloyd Mauger ‘daynu’.
Filmed and recorded by Tomas Björkdal in the Styx Valley.

Artist bio
SymbioLab is mobile laboratory for relational art, ecology and listening. Founded in 2009 by artists Julia Adzuki and Patrick Dallard, the vision is to respond to ecological grief and climate anxiety with multi-sensorial art experiences. Based in Sweden, SymbioLab has toured Europe with an intra-active aquaponic system; Eat and be Eaten, with edible plants and Garra Rufa fish, inviting direct participation in the food chain. Since 2016, SymbioLab has been working with resonance as a connective practice, making instruments and touring with bAUM, a tactile sound acoustic instrument, for experiencing the physicality of sound and awakening the senses. SymbioLab works in collaboration with other artists and researchers, as initiators of Styx Lament, The Shit Project; addressing local sewerage issues and the sound collective Ljudtornet. Together with Ljudtornet collaborators, Julia has initiated the Ministry for Environmental Grief, a group dedicated to singing laments for lost and vulnerable ecologies. Patrick is certified facilitator of Deep Listening (a sonic practice by P.Oliveros) and Julia is a certified teacher of Skinner Releasing Technique (a somatic movement practice by J.Skinner).

Deep Surface explores the fragility and impermanence of the natural landscape of lutruwita/Tasmania. Through study of local material elements sourced from significant sites around the island, the artist experiments with formulating natural pigments and colour. This process-based experimentation is translated onto raw fabrics that endure processes of staining, weathering and bleaching in the sun to form an ambiguous sense of place. The works are constructed as assemblages of materials; raw elements of the earth reacting and complimenting with one another, exposing the artist’s intimate encounter with nature.
India will hold a walkthrough of her solo exhibition Deep Surface at 10.30am, Saturday 25 February. India will speak on her painting process, relations to the environment and how her practice has been transformed through a new material focus.

This process-based experimentation is translated onto raw fabrics that endure processes of staining, weathering and bleaching in the sun to form an ambiguous sense of place. The works are constructed as assemblages of materials; raw elements of the earth reacting and complimenting with one another, exposing the artist’s intimate encounter with nature.
India will hold a walkthrough of her solo exhibition Deep Surface at 10.30am, Saturday 25 February. India will speak on her painting process, relations to the environment and how her practice has been transformed through a new material focus.

How do we practice the rites and rights of Nature? Can we touch sense the sentience of trees? Does the fallen forest still resonate?
Styx Lament took place in an area of clear felled old-growth forest in the Styx Valley in November 2019, as a collaborative and embodied approach to environmental grief. A performance ritual exploring listening and lament as acts of sonic activism, rendering the senses receptive to place, exploring relations of care at a site of destruction.
The process began with a song, calling ancestors together with Ruth Langford at LongHouse. Followed by plant mediations, Skinner Releasing (somatic movement) and Deep Listening practices with SymbioLab. A group of 17 people joined in a 2 day ritual of movement, meditation, listening and sharing stories in the Styx Valley, between tall trees and logging coups. Carrying the body of a felled tree, slow walking to the end of the road, sitting in a circle on the stump of a sentinel, there was grief and an immanent sense that the forest still holds us.
A collaborative artistic process led by Julia Adzuki together with Patrick Dallard, Lisa Flack, Luke John Campbell, Rodrigo Diaz-Icasuriaga, Anna Wylie, Katrina Schlunke, Raku Pitt, Clare Pitt, Sara Wright, Tresa Briscoe-hough, Amalia Patourakis, Pema Choo, Sue Stack, Amy Barrows and Warwick Lloyd Mauger ‘daynu’.
Filmed and recorded by Tomas Björkdal in the Styx Valley.

SymbioLab is mobile laboratory for relational art, ecology and listening. Founded in 2009 by artists Julia Adzuki and Patrick Dallard, the vision is to respond to ecological grief and climate anxiety with multi-sensorial art experiences. Based in Sweden, SymbioLab has toured Europe with an intra-active aquaponic system; Eat and be Eaten, with edible plants and Garra Rufa fish, inviting direct participation in the food chain. Since 2016, SymbioLab has been working with resonance as a connective practice, making instruments and touring with bAUM, a tactile sound acoustic instrument, for experiencing the physicality of sound and awakening the senses. SymbioLab works in collaboration with other artists and researchers, as initiators of Styx Lament, The Shit Project; addressing local sewerage issues and the sound collective Ljudtornet. Together with Ljudtornet collaborators, Julia has initiated the Ministry for Environmental Grief, a group dedicated to singing laments for lost and vulnerable ecologies. Patrick is certified facilitator of Deep Listening (a sonic practice by P.Oliveros) and Julia is a certified teacher of Skinner Releasing Technique (a somatic movement practice by J.Skinner).

Deep Surface explores the fragility and impermanence of the natural landscape of lutruwita/Tasmania. Through study of local material elements sourced from significant sites around the island, the artist experiments with formulating natural pigments and colour. This process-based experimentation is translated onto raw fabrics that endure processes of staining, weathering and bleaching in the sun to form an ambiguous sense of place. The works are constructed as assemblages of materials; raw elements of the earth reacting and complimenting with one another, exposing the artist’s intimate encounter with nature.
India will hold a walkthrough of her solo exhibition Deep Surface at 10.30am, Saturday 25 February. India will speak on her painting process, relations to the environment and how her practice has been transformed through a new material focus.

How do we practice the rites and rights of Nature? Can we touch sense the sentience of trees? Does the fallen forest still resonate?
Styx Lament took place in an area of clear felled old-growth forest in the Styx Valley in November 2019, as a collaborative and embodied approach to environmental grief. A performance ritual exploring listening and lament as acts of sonic activism, rendering the senses receptive to place, exploring relations of care at a site of destruction.
The process began with a song, calling ancestors together with Ruth Langford at LongHouse. Followed by plant mediations, Skinner Releasing (somatic movement) and Deep Listening practices with SymbioLab. A group of 17 people joined in a 2 day ritual of movement, meditation, listening and sharing stories in the Styx Valley, between tall trees and logging coups. Carrying the body of a felled tree, slow walking to the end of the road, sitting in a circle on the stump of a sentinel, there was grief and an immanent sense that the forest still holds us.
A collaborative artistic process led by Julia Adzuki together with Patrick Dallard, Lisa Flack, Luke John Campbell, Rodrigo Diaz-Icasuriaga, Anna Wylie, Katrina Schlunke, Raku Pitt, Clare Pitt, Sara Wright, Tresa Briscoe-hough, Amalia Patourakis, Pema Choo, Sue Stack, Amy Barrows and Warwick Lloyd Mauger ‘daynu’.
Filmed and recorded by Tomas Björkdal in the Styx Valley.

SymbioLab is mobile laboratory for relational art, ecology and listening. Founded in 2009 by artists Julia Adzuki and Patrick Dallard, the vision is to respond to ecological grief and climate anxiety with multi-sensorial art experiences. Based in Sweden, SymbioLab has toured Europe with an intra-active aquaponic system; Eat and be Eaten, with edible plants and Garra Rufa fish, inviting direct participation in the food chain. Since 2016, SymbioLab has been working with resonance as a connective practice, making instruments and touring with bAUM, a tactile sound acoustic instrument, for experiencing the physicality of sound and awakening the senses. SymbioLab works in collaboration with other artists and researchers, as initiators of Styx Lament, The Shit Project; addressing local sewerage issues and the sound collective Ljudtornet. Together with Ljudtornet collaborators, Julia has initiated the Ministry for Environmental Grief, a group dedicated to singing laments for lost and vulnerable ecologies. Patrick is certified facilitator of Deep Listening (a sonic practice by P.Oliveros) and Julia is a certified teacher of Skinner Releasing Technique (a somatic movement practice by J.Skinner).

Snow Queen is a collaborative artwork by make-up artist Ana Li and Weiyan Wu, a photographer that Ana admired and connected with through social media. Both emerging female artists, their collaboration simultaneously plays into and subverts traditional feminine tropes, beauty ideals and the idea of female power.
Artist bio
Ana Li is an Australian-based artist from China, currently based in nipaluna/Hobart, working primarily in make-up art. After completing her makeup and beauty certificate in South Australia, she continued to develop her practice while participating in different events and festivals around Adelaide and now, Tasmania.
Experimenting with a wide range of materials, colours and various makeup styles, she explores visual art and subtle connotations of cultural gaps.
Immersing her viewer in the complexity of history, modern society and colours, Ana’s spatial landscaping evokes combination of eastern and western art in order to create fusion style. Treating her practice as a personal study of life’s continuity and creativity, her works are innovative and hint at diversity.

The relationship between nature and the divine feminine is an important theme and inspiration for my artwork, as well as how this relates to my idea of home outward and within myself. Growing up on a farm made me appreciate nature not only for its beauty, but as a profound ever-growing resource that is infinitely connected to us. My work represents mother nature by flowers and faces entwined within each other, inspired by walks, dreams, magazines and films. I feel like contradiction and toxicity heavily plagues my phone, and in a world that is more connected than ever we can find statistics that tell us most of us feel more isolated than ever. We make ourselves finite resources that inevitably leaves us commodified, monetised, and stripped yet camouflaged. We fail to notice the lone bird in her nest or the ants carving paths in our footprints. I am never asked to trust the sky or the trees or the ocean, where I find reverie and what I wish to represent in my work most of all.

The Lotophagi are inhabitants of a mythical island who live in a daze of pleasure induced by consuming the intoxicating lotus fruit. My art depicts tableaus of lived worldly pleasure – moments in which we are as sensuously content as the lotus-eaters themselves.
My work captures personal moments of peace and beauty, as such water appears in much of my art. The unique multi-sensory pleasure of being in and near bodies of water is very compelling to me. Our nervous systems are regulated by both human touch and immersion in water. Similarly, the recurring depiction of skin suggests this tactile joy.
I’m also tapping into the historical association of visual decadence with queerness. The subversion of hetero-patriarchal norms through imagery that would be discredited as feminine and overly ornamental appeals to me.
BIO
I’m a young queer Tasmanian woman and I’ve lived here my entire life. I can’t seem to restrain myself to one medium so I do tattoos, zines, wood block prints, oil paintings and digital collage mainly.
Art has always been a sanctuary for me. I love being able to sculpt a beautiful world for myself that others can inhabit.

I make wands, taking inspiration from the Harry Potter series. They are made out of different woods and when I’m making a wand I like to think of a backstory for it, including how old it is and the witch or wizard that would have owned it.
BIO
I’m 15, I go to Hobart City Highschool and I’ve always been interested in the arts. During a six-week recovery after surgery I started carving wands out of wood and found that I really enjoyed the process and expressing myself through these objects.

This exhibition explores the subject of dreams. Dreams can be complicated, interesting and profound. I use my art to capture the experiences of my dreams, and I find painting to be a good form to do this. I try to capture whatever part of the dream has stuck with me the most, distilling it into a scene or moment. Through creating these artworks I am able to process these experiences and ideas.
BIO
I am 14 years old and attend St Frances Flexible Learning Centre. I have been creative and interested in art my whole life and have expressed this in many forms. I used to enjoy writing but more recently have been using visual art forms including painting and digital art mediums including procreate to express my ideas.

How do we practice the rites and rights of Nature? Can we touch sense the sentience of trees? Does the fallen forest still resonate?
Styx Lament took place in an area of clear felled old-growth forest in the Styx Valley in November 2019, as a collaborative and embodied approach to environmental grief. A performance ritual exploring listening and lament as acts of sonic activism, rendering the senses receptive to place, exploring relations of care at a site of destruction.
The process began with a song, calling ancestors together with Ruth Langford at LongHouse. Followed by plant mediations, Skinner Releasing (somatic movement) and Deep Listening practices with SymbioLab. A group of 17 people joined in a 2 day ritual of movement, meditation, listening and sharing stories in the Styx Valley, between tall trees and logging coups. Carrying the body of a felled tree, slow walking to the end of the road, sitting in a circle on the stump of a sentinel, there was grief and an immanent sense that the forest still holds us.
A collaborative artistic process led by Julia Adzuki together with Patrick Dallard, Lisa Flack, Luke John Campbell, Rodrigo Diaz-Icasuriaga, Anna Wylie, Katrina Schlunke, Raku Pitt, Clare Pitt, Sara Wright, Tresa Briscoe-hough, Amalia Patourakis, Pema Choo, Sue Stack, Amy Barrows and Warwick Lloyd Mauger ‘daynu’.
Filmed and recorded by Tomas Björkdal in the Styx Valley.

Artist bio
SymbioLab is mobile laboratory for relational art, ecology and listening. Founded in 2009 by artists Julia Adzuki and Patrick Dallard, the vision is to respond to ecological grief and climate anxiety with multi-sensorial art experiences. Based in Sweden, SymbioLab has toured Europe with an intra-active aquaponic system; Eat and be Eaten, with edible plants and Garra Rufa fish, inviting direct participation in the food chain. Since 2016, SymbioLab has been working with resonance as a connective practice, making instruments and touring with bAUM, a tactile sound acoustic instrument, for experiencing the physicality of sound and awakening the senses. SymbioLab works in collaboration with other artists and researchers, as initiators of Styx Lament, The Shit Project; addressing local sewerage issues and the sound collective Ljudtornet. Together with Ljudtornet collaborators, Julia has initiated the Ministry for Environmental Grief, a group dedicated to singing laments for lost and vulnerable ecologies. Patrick is certified facilitator of Deep Listening (a sonic practice by P.Oliveros) and Julia is a certified teacher of Skinner Releasing Technique (a somatic movement practice by J.Skinner).

Deep Surface explores the fragility and impermanence of the natural landscape of lutruwita/Tasmania. Through study of local material elements sourced from significant sites around the island, the artist experiments with formulating natural pigments and colour. This process-based experimentation is translated onto raw fabrics that endure processes of staining, weathering and bleaching in the sun to form an ambiguous sense of place. The works are constructed as assemblages of materials; raw elements of the earth reacting and complimenting with one another, exposing the artist’s intimate encounter with nature.
India will hold a walkthrough of her solo exhibition Deep Surface at 10.30am, Saturday 25 February. India will speak on her painting process, relations to the environment and how her practice has been transformed through a new material focus.
