NAME THAT BEACH MOVIE (II) : PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA 2014
'name that beach movie' print series selected for the Yey Sussurus exhibition in Perth.
In July 2014, at blend(er) gallery in Joondalup, Perth, Western Australia consisting of a new prints which are still images from key scenes in the films featured in the video study 'name that beach movie'.
Included in a survey show titled 'Yey Sussurus' which was "Selected works by women who are working innovatively in traditional art and craft forms. The title comes from the Noongar word, yey, meaning now / today, and the English word susurrus, which means “to whisper or murmur, as the wind whispers through long grass.” These words, put together in this way, are a call to listen carefully - to the murmurings of the present time. They are suggestive of lost or hidden languages, incantations, sacred stories, lore, prayers, lullabies, and lover’s exchanges; all told in undertones, yet are nonetheless powerful, resonant messages. In the way that a seashell softly sings of the sea, I believe that artists tell of the Now." curator Gemma Ben-Ary
