UNBROKEN<br />
CONNECTIONS<br />
MEGAN COPE<br />
Curated by Irina Agaronyan<br />
20th May to 18th July<br />
Unbroken Connections is the exhibition resulting from<br />
Cope’s residency at Canberra Glassworks in 2020 and<br />
<strong>2021</strong>. During her residency, Cope worked with a variety<br />
of techniques to produce a distinct body of work that<br />
includes shield forms made from blown glass on which<br />
the artist used the ‘battuto’ technique to carve away the<br />
layers and 250 dugong bones cast from recycled television<br />
screen glass.<br />
Cope is a Quandamooka woman from Minjerribah<br />
(North Stradbroke Island) in South East Queensland. In<br />
this exhibition the artist explores the ongoing connection<br />
her People have had with the island for thousands of years<br />
and the unbroken connections between country, family<br />
and nature.<br />
