Local Artist, Candy Stevens will occupy Allan’s Walk Shop 7 during the month of November to create, grow and exhibit her latest Art Installation called Lambscape.
Lambscape is an Installation of grass sheepskins that form a jigsaw landscape covering the floor and walls of Shop 7 in Allan’s Walk. Operating as an ARTLAB, Candy invites the public to join her in the first week of the Artist Residency to help create the Installation by cutting out forms and sowing the grass. Once the artwork has been seeded, the exhibition will host an opening the following week at 5:30pm on Thursday 7th November.
From here on in we watch as the grass begins to sprout and grow over the following month. The exhibition will be
open to the public each Thursday and Friday from 10am- 4pm and Saturday from 11am - 2pm where the artist will be in attendance until 30th November. At other times come by and view the installation through the windows as it springs to life. Audiences are also invited to help document the exhibition by taking photos of the work in progress. The photos will be displayed in the window to form part of the exhibition. Ms Stevens commented;
"Allan’s Walk Shop 7 will not only be an exhibition to take part in, but a space to watch, as the ephemeral artwork unfolds.”
Ms Stevens is no stranger to grass; you may remember the monumental, The Grass is Green, which grew live in the Bendigo Conservatory in 2008. In its more recent form, Now & Then (the mother of all motherboards) resides at the Eaglehawk Eco Centre where it was originally built.
Candy is currently undertaking a Master of Visual Arts Degree at La Trobe University in which Lambscape will contribute towards her research folio.
