Empty Inside
Solo exhibition at Kuiper Artspace, Brisbane
10 May – 1 June 2019
Empty Inside is a new exhibition by Brisbane-based visual artist Elizabeth Willing. The exhibition is a continuation of her ongoing use of food as subject and medium, in order to materially explore the way food functions as a site of collective experience. Empty Inside draws a connection between processed snack food and packaging materials. Here, Willing considers the manufacture, transportation and consumption of products that are devoid of a use-value beyond their function as commodities. Performative methods of production, such as the use of saliva as an adhesive in the sculptures, imbues these mass produced foods with personal lived experience.
