Double flower spoiling occurred tonight 🌸 thanks to and Art Gallery of South Australia]] at the special launch of Future Traditions, my 2020 Guildhouse Fellowship show. They’re so beautiful!!! Truly, I should be giving everyone flowers! I still can’t believe I’ve been so supported in my semi-madness to bring together almost 70 components in gallery 8, borrowing from numerous collections (including and and Art Gallery of South Australia]]) and videos, tear offs (with and ), my own collection, wallpapers, artworks, books and more! Thank you for steering this wild ride with grace and calm, and to for finding all the solutions. The Art Gallery of South Australia]] team, in all of its machinations, have been so supportive and encouraging in seeing this project realised. And of course none of this could have been even conceived of without the generous enabled by the 🙏 📸 by 🙏

I’m very pleased to find out that I’m a finalist in the Heysen Prize for Landscape for my work ‘Passing through oceans of time’.

We went camping in the Southern Flinders Ranges not too long ago, the highlight for me was walking through The Narrows in Alligator Gorge. I felt the weight of time, being surrounded on both sides by such an old formation as we walked along the ravine.
 
Here we were, passing through something that had formed millions of years ago, long before our genetic ancestors had even evolved into our species. And here the formation will remain, long after a time when our species will have faded away.

Posted • Glover Prize Finalist 2022

Artist: Jason Cordero
Title: The Resolution of an Absent Day
Oil on linen
122 x 122 cm

From the artist:

With travel being impossible over the last two years, in absentia I have once again been drawn to the immutable Cradle Mountain. A person's perceptions of place are entirely subjective and independent from the object of interest and are subject to the currents of their culture and personal experience. Be it a broad cultural understanding or a personal refection, the experience of an environment is a construct and proximity to that environment does not necessarily affect that experience. Though an individual may gain pleasure from being in a place that has meaning for them, absence does not lessen their understanding and narrative of that place; all is shifted, twisted, constrained, and expanded to fit that understanding and narrative.
