In this edition of the CC Podcast, Anna John sits down with Clare Wohlnick to discuss her November exhibition ‘Sea Tooth (votum)’.

‘Sea Tooth (votum)’ is an emerging and ongoing collection of discrete objects, both made and found, that make up a seemingly disparate ecology. Common to all objects is their both their size and their wavering proximity from the things which they appeared to represent, or what they happen to look like. These mimetic musings make up a work that reconsiders the hierarchy of aesthetic experience. Unfixed from plinth or base, it is encouraged that the work scattered across the floor is to be handled, and re-positioned or placed anywhere within the Gallery 3 space, according to the audience.

Anna John’s practice is based in improvisational, process-led and performative approaches to sculpture. Having a parallel practice in music making, she is currently interested in where sculpture crosses over into ‘instrument’, where instrument is to be defined more broadly as a tool, and how this has been explored in art and cultural practices historically. Her work often proposes potential disruptions and subtle alternatives to understandings of time and finality, which are otherwise foundational to capitalism’s understanding of objects and labour.

Anna is currently based in Broome, on Yawuru & Djugan country. She completed a Masters of Fine Arts at Sydney College of the Arts in 2015.

Clare Wohlnick is an artist and designer of playgrounds, living in Perth.
