This showcased event has concluded.
This work considers the ways cosmic forms and forces mirror the dynamics, relations and dimensions of our social worlds.
Centring on the formation and behaviour of star systems, the work uses the metaphorical qualities of interstellar movement as a way to reconsider the dynamics of human interaction, the role of the individual and the sway of the collective. The idea for this work began when reading about the revolutions of star clusters and how they form, interact, move together and eventually disperse. The work contrasts the behaviour of human systems and star systems to consider experiences of social connection, belonging and influence.
About the artist
Lisa Sammut's practice encompasses collage, sculpture, video and installation. Using a wide range of media, her experiential and poetic works oscillate between notions of cosmic perspective, connection and time. She has exhibited widely in Australia, undertaking several large-scale works for exhibitions including radial sign, Goulburn Regional Gallery (2023), a circular logic, Canberra Glassworks (2023), nightshifts, Buxton Contemporary (2023), and The National 2021: New Australian Art, The Art Gallery of New South Wales (2021). Her work has been recognised in several prizes including the John Fries Award, UNSW Galleries (2018) and Ramsay Art Prize, Art Gallery of South Australia (2021). Sammut currently lives and works in Kamberri/Canberra, ACT.
