Cloud Formation, NGV Triennial

Cloud formations 2020 is both an investigation and an expression of the fluid, fleeting beauty found in the roiling confluence of heat, light, moisture, particles and airflow that come together momentarily to make a cloud. The material qualities of each piece – texture, stiffness and translucency – are deftly worked, folded and stitched to create forms that invite us to consider how we perceive transience and the space between the material and the immaterial, so perfectly reflected in a cloud. Here the textile changes as the viewer moves about the work and the forces of gravity gradually tug and pull at the form.

Cloud formations draws our attention to the beauty and joy that can be found in these passing moments, encouraging us to look more closely and listen more intensely to the countless wonders occurring in the world all around us, all the time.
