Aidan Hartshorn's solo exhibition Fulcrum is now open at Canberra Glassworks.
This major body of work investigates the environmental ramifications and consequences inflicted upon communities that are often overlooked when considering Australia’s usage of energy production. Using glass, light, water, and concrete,
Fulcrum explores the ongoing colonial processes that disrupt Walgalu connections to Country.Building on a mentorship that has allowed the artist to craft cultural objects, Hartshorn employs glass symbolically pierced and severed by fluorescent tubes to investigate themes of disconnection, destruction, and degradation inflicted by industrial entities like the Snowy Hydro Scheme.
