Translations.....ant _works
A new series of documentary photographs by Sally Kidall of her experimental ant and honey installation. They capture snapshots of the ants’ dynamic lives whilst performing their collaborative duties and communal feeding. These aerial scenes are reminiscent of peak time urban life with heaving crowds jostling for place while boarding trains or dinning at bars; all wearing their standardized attire.

Sally experiments with unstable and vulnerable materials creating works that change, grow and transform during their display. Through site-specific environmental installations and photography Sally seeks to challenge the predictability of expectations & ‘cultural homogeneity’. Her art practice is inspired by the complexities, equilibrium and fragility of the natural environment and by the ways in which our man-made systems work within, or in opposition to, these natural systems. The focus of her practice is the concept of transition, including notions of unpredictability, vulnerability, and ephemerality. Her work is informed by issues relating to human ecology, consumption and materialism.
