Meg Nielsen & Peter Nielsen, present their paintings, drawings, & photography in conjunction with objects found, restored or recycled created during their journey through life…… celebrating the Earth & resolutely Seeking the Symbiocene.
“The Symbiocene will be that period in Earth’s history where humans symbiotically re-integrate themselves, emotionally, psychologically & technologically into nature & natural systems …. utterly rejecting the current destructive despotism of the Anthropocene”. (Glenn Albrecht 2011)
Guest artist Terri Nicholson has been invited to showcase some of her exquisite pyrography work & sculptures as nature-based art that complements the theme of Seeking the Symbiocene.

Works by Terri Nicholson
Terri Nicholson draws inspiration for her art from her deep connection with the rainforest of Terania Creek, where she was raised during the time of the historic protests to protect it from logging. She loves bringing together the elements of fire and wood, depicting intricate botanical scenes in her pyrography/burn art pieces. Further alchemy is explored to bring forth her botanical eco-prints on both cloth and paper, using the natural dyes of the native species themselves. Another earthy medium, clay, is used for her sculptures of earth mummas. This is a little sneak preview of her exhibition in June next year in line with World Environment Day, at Serpentine Gallery.
