'EMPTY WORDS'
THE HEYSEN SCULPTURE BIENNIAL 2022
The Heysen Sculpture Biennial is an outdoor contemporary sculpture exhibition, and a continued creative conversation on the preservation and sustainability of the natural environment.
In 2022, twenty-two artists responded to the theme Political Climate, which is defined as the aggregate mood and opinions of a political society at a particular time. The exhibition was held in Adelaide on the grounds of the historic Carrick Hill site and was curated by Leah Grace.
My sculpture titled Empty Words pays tribute to Greta Thunberg's potent words; ‘Our hopes and dreams drown in their empty words and promises... 30 years of Blah, Blah, Blah’ (speaking at the Youth 4 Climate event in Milan, September 2021)
