artsCAPE Biennial

June 26 - July 11, 2010

Byron Bay, Australia

The ArtsCAPE National Sculpture Exhibition was centred around an environmental theme.  This installation titled "The Ways of Survival" is partially ephemeral, and   explores the possibilities of how bowerbirds may evolve in the future.

"The Ways of Survival"  is a two and three dimensional illustration depicting a future pair of unnamed bowerbirds and the male's maypole bower, as may appear in an ornithological text where successful sexual selection depends on who's the best artist."

With thanks to the team who work with me.   Greg Royer,  Jonathon Westacott,  Scott Woolcock, and  Earl Sullivan

     The new blown glass works showing at both SOFA and at Jane Sauer Gallery continue to investigate an aesthetic associated with birds species, not only parrots but also birds of paradise.

     Both of these families of birds include species with extreme plumage designs that inspire the colour sequences in the glass.  I've also looked at the indigenous names given to some of these rare species, along with the locations where they may be found.

      As much of my work has a conservationist logic associated with it, I've approached these works as a form of primitive 'increase' sculpture. Not only are the birds often under threat, but also the indigenous descriptive names and the very landscape where they occur.

Jane Sauer in conjunction with Betsy Ehrenberg, President of the Glass Alliance, New Mexico arranged for Noel to do a public glass blowing demonstration at Liquid Light Glass.  while visiting Santa Fe for his solo exhibition.  
Thanks must go to Jane Sauer, Betsy Ehrenberg,  and Elodie Holmes from Liquid Light Glass Studio,  and their respective teams, to make this such a successful event.
