Fool's Gold

About

Through the transformation of waste and natural resources artists Pamela
Schilderman and Hayley Harrison invite visitors to engage in conversations
around the climate crisis and our use of materials.

The artworks will form part of an illusionary world with a fairy tale appearance.The exhibition is accompanied by workshops, talks, a commissioned article, an animation and a live installation.

Pamela’s work is strongly influenced by science and nature and the way that
humble everyday objects can be transformed into something spectacular
and beautiful. Hayley focuses on taking the debris of consumerism or found
organic materials and re-appropriates them into new structures, that highlightour relationship with nature.

Through this transformation of materials the artists want the viewer to
consider humanity’s resources, their significance and impact on our world and encourage us to re-think what we choose to value.
