Feathers and Earth is a three-year investigation into the geographic features and bird life of three diverse sites. The sites are connected by an abundance of significant birdlife and unique geographic terrain.
Concerned with degradation of our natural world, this project explores cycles of decay, destruction and rebirth (birds) while looking at what lasts beyond the annihilation of climate-change (earth).
Using photography and video to document the process, artists Penelope Bartlau and Jason Lehane are developing locative installations at/for/with various sites.
In 2022, artists have attended international residencies at Cill Rialaig Arts Centre in Ballinskelligs, Ireland, The Museum of Loss and Renewal, Collemacchia, Italy, and at La Macina di San Cresci, Chianti, Italy. In June 2023 the project continues at Château d’Orquevaux, in Orquevaux, France.
This project was inspired by Gulidjan Country, Colac Otway Shire, where the artists work and live. We recognise the Gulidjan peoples as the traditional owners and custodians of this land. We pay respect to, acknowledge and thank Gulidjan people for allowing this project to take place across their beautiful country.
This event is open daily from 10.30am - 4.30pm, it is free and is part of the Strata Exhibition at Point Nepean
