Cycles of Return

Wendy Barbour Clarke | Sarah Rowlands

​

Wendy Clarke and Sarah Rowland's practices explore photographic processes and presentations, to present the viewer with interpretations of the natural environment as seen through two distinct lenses.

 

Wendy Clarke is a Whakaraupo/Lyttelton Harbour resident; her work reflects her experience of living in a landscape that bears both the scars and beauty of human intervention. Through photographic sculptural works she investigates our interaction with nature, prompting reflection on sustainable practices and the possibility of a circular economy between human activity and environmental conservation.

 

Sarah Rowlands is an Ōtautahi based photographic artist who explores the entanglement of humanity and the post-colonial natural environment, through conventional and alternative photographic mediums. Notions of time passing, perception of landscape and detailed studies of botanical species, invite viewers to consider their place and role within the fragile future of the natural world.
