About the Artwork: 'Whither weather'

Whither weather extends upon the Sunny Side Up’s curatorial theme of 'celebrating Brisbane as a subtropical city' to present a short journey through place both real and imagined – a place populated by bright, abstract, weird and wonky objects that are an ode to the South East Queensland summer. As a response to the sculptural works already commissioned for the Sunny Side Up exhibition, the animation incorporates similar forms, colours and textures to reveal new perspectives and ways of interpreting them. Forms are deconstructed and recombined to create new forms that reference things such as Brisbane's hilly suburbs, hot summer days and subtropical thunderstorms.

This project is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
