This series of 4 editions by Laura Duffy is created from her 2021 video, Spawn, commissioned by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) + CIRCUIT. Curator Serena Bentley notes that “Duffy mixes materials together like potions, encouraging audiences to consider texture through filmic spaces in which the natural and unnatural writhe upon one another—slipping, dripping, bubbling, congealing... The work reflects Duffy’s belief that materials are collaborative, complete with their own stories, histories and energies. The artist combines these materials to critique and shatter binary thinking of natural and unnatural as separate, instead embracing the complexity and blur of binaries.”
