Convening new and older work, Strange Weather immerses you in conversations that deal with land politics, mythology, and the happiness of neighbours. Laura Fitzgerald presents a body of new works including (but not limited to) wall-based painting, text, tape, and video. This expansive solo exhibition also includes older works that formed Rural Stress (2022), I have made a place (2021), and Fantasy Farming (2020).
Laura’s work is colourful, playful, and distinctly humorous. Often handwritten comments and narratives accompany her drawings and paintings, sometimes referencing personal experiences and sometimes pointing to much darker issues. The work draws connections between climate change and agriculture while exploring the complicated relationships of land ownership and land occupation. Strange Weather navigates these tense conversations, uncertain of any solution.
