From 20 October "“ 25 November, Moss's Breathing in Trees "“ where she makes fine art with paper "“ embodies a delicate observation of the intertwined relationship between the human experience, the built environment and urban green spaces.
Driven by a burning question, What is sustainability?', Moss engages people in considering the value of healthy environment, exploring possible futures where conservation and urban development find balance.
Showcased within HOTA's Foyer Gallery, in tandem with the Josephine Ulrick & Win Schubert Photography Award 2018 concurrently in the main gallery space, Breathing in Trees contrasts Suginami City, Japan (where Moss undertook a residency at Youkobo Art Space) and the Gold Coast.
"With similar populations but vastly different geographical sizes, the two cities presented the opportunity to explore the influence of green spaces in generating social cohesion and liveability of built environments," said Moss.
The result of Moss's ongoing investigation is a delight: compositions of organic forms made from cutting and layering paper and working with a variety of media "“ charcoal, water colour, oil crayon, ink and ochre.
Through her observations, Moss finds that paper has the ability to record nuances of experience and place', and in Breathing in Trees she explores that innate human desire to connect with nature.
Gallery Director, Tracy Cooper-Lavery, said HOTA is proud to support the development of new work by homegrown artists in lively and stimulating ways.
"As we set our sights on the purpose-built Gallery in 2021, showcasing local talent like Nicola Moss, whose work provides an insightful perspective on our relationship with the built and natural environment, is essential to fostering the scope local art delivers across the world."
Returning to the Gold Coast, Moss has continued her green spaces project, seeking out the stories of treasured gardens locally.
