NICOLE WELCH - WILDEORNES LAND 2017
Nicole Welch Wildēornes Body 2017 (still)
time-lapse film 10:34min edition of 6 Wildēornes (Old English): a land inhabited only by wild animals. The time-lapse film _Wildēorness Body_ reflects the inherent loss and uncertainty we now face for the natural environment, while simultaneously being a personal acknowledgement of the artist embracing her mortality and the autoimmune disease Lupus that inhabits her body and world. Swathed in a Victorian 1880s chantilly lace mourning shawl, the artist lay on a large mirror that reflects the sky and the canopy of trees above. Through the symbolism of the mourning shawl and the endurance of holding a pose over time, Welch aims to reveal the symbiotic relationship humans have with the natural world, and the fragility and strength of both. Welch spent several weeks at BigCi artist residency near Wollemi National Park where she researched and created this work.
