Dislocated Landscape
Bamboo, glass, water
150 X 150 X 26 cm
Huyen-Trang Tran was born in Vietnam and is currently completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture at COFA, UNSW. Her work is an investigation into placement, how it alters the visual coherency and modifies the meaning of certain structures. Dislocated Landscape is an installation whose visual aesthetic relies upon the qualities of the ground on which it is constructed. The circular form of the work evokes completeness, while water is used to emphasise the capacity of nature to cultivate and transform itself. As a travelling installation, Dislocated Landscape is also a metaphor for the artist’s own experience with displacement.
