THE SEA INSIDE HER is an exhibition of paintings, poetry and a short film. It is an immersive experience about the fragility of staying in control of oneself. The work is a playful contemplation of Western society's relationship with nature – how we are affected by nature and our influence on it, while holding onto the idea that we are somehow separate.
The pieces depict an older woman’s response to a wild animal encroaching on her domestic space and lean into movement and the fantastical within the mundane to connect with people on a visceral body-brain level. The artists aim to create a lyricism within the space - utilising paint, text and -- in the moving image work -- performers, puppets and household objects.
The concept was initiated and produced by Pākehā artists and filmmakers Alyx Duncan, Michele Powles and collaborators.
