Description

A temporary installation for an exhibition at the Women's Gallery in Melbourne - curated by Penny Webb. The work was made in collaboration with Anna Gibbs who wrote & performed the sound work with Nola Farman. The work used net hammocks & other net materials with light. The text referred to the construction of gender through a paraphrasing of an early twentieth century amateur zoological text on the life of the spider. The optimum listening position was experienced by a person lying suspended in one of the hammocks.
