8 May – 1 June
Dena Ashbolt describes this bitter-sweet notion of time passing:
Your radiant bunch of fresh flowers on the window sill or dining room table, give pleasure and happiness when fresh, but when do they cease to delight? At what point do their fading colours and drying petals confront you with notions of aging and death; when do you throw them out?
The works in this exhibition explore concepts of temporality; they engage with the passing of time and actively seek out the beauty of aging. In this intimate video work, pigment prints and Raku Nu vessel drawings I consider the gentle ease with which each flower surrenders to its fate acquiring a texture, colour and exquisite beauty I’d previously ignored.
Dena Ashbolt is currently completing a PHD in Fine Art at Monash Art Design & Architecture, and her study focuses on diminishing the gap between viewer and the artwork through considering time as illustrated by movement.
Dena would like to thank Babka bakery, Wedgetail Estate Yarra Valley, Calypso Flowers, Method Studios and Monash University, Faculty of Art, Design & Architecture for their support in the exhibition.
