Tamara Henderson's 'Eye in the High' exhibition at PALAS explores ecological cycles through multisensory installations

Tamara Henderson's exhibition titled 'Eye in the High' is on display at PALAS in Sydney from 20 April to 22 June. This showcase delves into ecological themes through various mediums, including paintings, sculptures, and film, highlighting processes such as decomposition, regeneration, and the effects of humanity on ecosystems. At the entrance, visitors encounter a ceramic piece called 'A Natural Wizard, Eucalyptus in thought' (2023), which releases eucalyptus incense. Inside, a blown-glass chandelier named 'Director's Anchor maintains the plot' (2024) is suspended overhead. Three new oil paintings from 2024, framed in blue, illustrate stages of plant growth. Additionally, a dedicated area features Henderson's 26-minute film 'Green in the Grooves' (2023), which presents her garden, Australian wildlife, and whimsical garbage bins, set to a synthesized soundscape. The exhibition invites sensory exploration and underscores ecological narratives.
