| Description of Exhibition/Event | This collaborative exhibition by poet (Kate Cantrell) and artist (Peter Osborn) is a visual and poetic response to Elizabeth Kübler-Ross’s Five Stages of Grief (1969), a popular grief adjustment model that describes the emotional transition experienced by those who are grieving, dying, or terminally ill: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. As the nexus between shape and story is one of the natural symmetries between poetry and art, the exhibition draws on the structural paradox of the lemniscate to capture and communicate the nonlinear experience of grief. The work includes 5 x free verse poems (printed as A2 vinyl posters); 6 x small ceramic sculptures (60cm x 25cm, 25cm x 35cm, 30cm x 30cm, 30cm x 30cm, 30cm x 30cm, 30cm x 30cm); 2 x paintings on linen (300cm x 75cm & 100cm x 75cm); and 1 relief ceramic (mounted on ply, 50cm x 40cm), all of which give visual and poetic representation to the five stages of grief theorised by Kübler-Ross. |
