Flow - the film
Winner: Award in Honour of Pam and Neil Thorne, sponsored by Janet De Boer OAM $1000
Karen Benjamin is an eco-friendly artist who works primarily with natural, recycled or found materials. Through her whimsical, thought-provoking art, Karen combines issues surrounding caring for the community with caring for our environment.
‘Flow’ is constructed from hundreds of circles made from toilet paper that has been made from recycled paper. Each circle has been coloured with sharpies to create the illusion of flowing water during the changing tide. The circles have been lovingly hand stitched into a garment using a vintage German needle from the 1960’s.
Reflecting the changing tide reminds us that is never too late change. The underlying message of the piece is that, as a society, we can change our ways to help heal and protect the planet.
