A Year at the Coal Loader

Solo Exhibition / Mixed Media Installation 2017

The Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability

Solo exhibition A Year at the Coal Loader can be viewed as a coherent mixed media installation that emerged from the poetic dialogue with the evocative and unique North Sydney Council's Coal Loader Centre. The individual pieces were developed during Studholme's year at the site as resident artist and are indicative of a creative blending of her inner landscape with the external landscape of the site.

Materials such as sandstone, concrete, fabrics, salt crystals and mussel-shells form a visual metaphoric language representative of the local landscape - the harbour, the vegetation, the industrial buildings and tunnels.
