fast|slow|complex by Perdita Phillips presents a rigorous body of work from this distinctive Western Australian artist. The exhibition combines investigations into themes of waste and wastelands, with explorations of disaster and transformation born from post-disaster environments.
The works showcase the artist’s agility in a diverse range of media, including drawing, video and sculpture. fast|slow|complex marks a crystallisation of Phillips’ practice of examining the parallels and complexities within the living world, with a new reflective focus on recuperative socioecological strategies for the future. The artworks contain oblique suggestions of hope in an ‘unruly’ world of complexity and flux. Burdens are lightened and wastefulness is replaced by elegant and thrifty recuperative strategies.

Shy (dissolution + exchange) in Yonder
The conceptual mail art project Shy (dissolution + exchange) is slowly making its way around the southern hemisphere. The work is on display in the exhibition, Yonder at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, James Street, Perth from 8 September – 21 October 2012.
Yonder offers a contemporary perspective on the desire that artists have always had to know ‘what’s over there’. With the notion of ‘mobility’ as the exhibition’s central idea, Yonder considers some of the poetic and pragmatic connotations associated with this strategy for investigating, taking action and day dreaming about one’s place in the world.

Permeate on Radio National features Perdita Phillips
The short segment Permeate (part of Off Track) produced by Miyuki Jokiranta features an interview with Perdita Phillips about walking and sound in her practice. It includes narrative extracts from the sound walk To Meander and Back.
You can listen to it here http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/offtrack/permeate3a-perdita-phillips/3932726 (download might possibly be restricted to Australian isp addresses).
The sound art walking work continues with The Sxith Shore and with the up-coming cusp.
cusp
Currently working with audio/visual/performance technical expert Simon Wise to create a 4.5 m x 4.5 m grid of spatial sound. Cusp is an indoor spatial sound piece as part of The Sixth Shore project.
Explanation for the formation of beach cusps remains inconclusive and may involve the formation of standing edge waves or alternatively can be understood as a paradigm of self organisation, where positive feedback between the morphology of the beach and the flow of the water, create slight height differences that reinforce themselves.
Beach cusps are self organising once they form and continue until wave energy conditions change. They can be seen as analogies for how we can re-evaluate and reset our environmental and cultural priorities.
In this gallery-based work, sound moves through different speakers in a sequence similar to the way waves come up a beach before washing back out into the sea. It will be exhibited in Adaptation (6 May to 10 June at INQB8).
