Anna Reynolds, Man Made Mess, 135 x 250cm, digital composite, digital print on rag, no edition
exhibited at Araluen Centre for the Alice Prize 2024, Alice Springs Northern Territory, Australia
Relationship to the natural environment and concern for the proliferating global consumption of natural resources shattered by the relentless advance of industrialisation and urbanisation underpin the materiality and content of Reynolds creative practice.
The transformative lens of demolition sites allows Reynolds to build a gritty anti-human anti landscape. The compacted perspective is contructed by heavy handed layering of barriers and signs, packing punch and marking humanities relentless pursuit of progress. Demolition sites, once symbols of renewal and transformation are haunting reminders of the environmental toll exacted by human endevours.
