THIS SATURDAY | ARTIST TALKTONI MESSITER It Was a Difficult ConversationSaturday June 24, 202312 PM In her latest exhibition, Toni Messiter moves away from her typical subject matter to turn toward the environment. Interested in notions of haunting, the subjectivity of nature and the shadows of the trees are considered by the artist.She writes, “I left the foreground to move into the background” @tonimessiter Unlike conventional landscape where the environment is a scene for the human, in this series the artist has positioned the tree, beings who have memory and sensation - as protagonist. With a distinct gothic framework, the tree as protagonist is a clear continuation of the artist’s previous investigations of the subconscious and shadow. Join us this Saturday at 12pm in Darlinghurst for Toni Messiter&#x27;s artist talk.📷 Installation images by @doqument
