Charred Forest.
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, ACT.
Charred forest, 2023-24, Lindy Lee and Sullivan+Strumpf.
"Out of something that is dark, mysterious and seemingly as dead as a charred forest, there is still life. It's the seeds of life. It's the seeds of cosmos." Lindy Lee, 2024.
In the background is "The unconditioned", 2020, bronze, Lindy Lee. Lee's flung bronze works reinterpret the calligraphic practice of Zen Buddhist monks, who, after quietening the mind with meditation, would throw ink onto paper. Lee uses the medium of molten bronze flung onto a foundry floor to create individual elements that embody the moment of their creation.
