Matthew Pope is a multidisciplinary artist that works with a range of mediums including sculpture, performance, video art, and printmaking. This work is a continuation of his 2016 Graduate exhibition Mergence, at Edith Cowan University and focuses on our relationship with the earth. He invites viewers to engage and interact with the sculptures and prints that are exhibited, allowing people to touch, interact and feel the earth. The work consists of sculpture installation, videos and printmaking that explore how the human body connects with nature emotionally, physically and sexually. This connection is achieved through the use of visual, physical and audible engagements. The work allows intimate connections to form between the artist, audience and natural environment.
