Nine Lives
Nine Lives is a self-referential, collaborative installation of objects, created by an artist collective that work across a diverse range of artistic disciplines; such as ceramics, painting, drawing, jewellery and textile design. The objects are brought together to explore rituals of friendship. Rituals developed, and still evolving, through the group’s communal baking and eating, tramping and adventuring on the Banks Peninsula, all which continues to inspire each of their artistic practices.
Highlighting the overlap between life and art, the work in this exhibition portrays an abundant table setting, evoking a history of the feasts amongst friends. The feast table is set with a collection of gathered trinkets and sketches, walking cloaks, useful tools, bowls and plates; all talismans representative of the artists and their adventures.
