Afternoon

Stella Bennett lives and works on unceded Wangal and Gadigal lands. They don't know if it's possible to ever really say exactly what you mean. This forms the basis of a body of work that positions artmaking as an innately fallible mode of communication. Building upon an interest in linguistics and translation, Bennett's work prioritises the sensory and sonorous qualities of objects as indirect transmissions of narrative. In their practice, installation becomes an analogy of poetic translation, where objects punctuate space and collect new meanings and synonyms through ever changing interpretation. And then, as usual, pale light pours into morning.
