Breaking Ground: Chaos Theory and the Valley, by Canberra based artists Heidi Smith and Michele England, explore the local environment of Tuggeranong.
Considering the impacts of their creative practice, the artists have chosen to create mixed media works using found materials and naturally created pigments.
Transforming the mundane and expected; Smith and England present 2 and 3D mixed media works and installations that reflect the beauty they find in discarded, forgotten items intertwined with personal symbolism.
Heidi Smith is an artist who enjoys exploring themes of creativity for social and cultural connectedness and environmental sustainability. Heidi uses drawing and installation to create suspended environments where materials are used in playful ways and narratives are revealed through gentle cycles of interference.
Michele England is a painter and mixed media artist and her environmental concerns inform her practice. She completed a Visual Arts degree with honours at the School of Art ANU in 2013 and her work involves painting, printing, sewing and assembling found bits and pieces; rarely seen together. She utilises scientific, anecdotal and chance to create work. This intersection creates art that seeks to relay her concerns about damaged and derailed ecologies.
