Patrica Piccinini
A Miracle Constantly Repeated
2021-22

 

As 2021 Artist in Residence, Canberra Glassworks supported Melbourne based artist, Patricia Piccinini to fabricate several large installation artworks for her exhibition A Miracle Constantly Repeated at Flinders Street Station as part of the Rising Festival, Melbourne.

In A Miracle Constantly Repeated, technology and nature coexist and combine. It’s an empathetic vision of the future built on resilience and care – an eco-system of hyper-real silicone sculptures, video, sound and light devised by Patricia Piccinini.

Working on the border of art and science, Piccinini has spent close to three decades exploring humanity’s relationship to technology and the environment. Her work has been exhibited at major Australian and international institutions and events including the Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane; and the Vancouver and Venice biennales.
