Inspired by the encounter and exchange of deep time, geological forces, and the Anthropocene, Mélange presents an extraordinary feast infused with parallel meanings and rich metaphorical associations. Incorporating the languages of fibre, earth, stitch, dye, and ephemeral layers of voice, video, and performance, Underfoot artists Nien Schwarz, Holly Story, Perdita Phillips, Annette Nykiel, Sharyn Egan, Jane Donlin and Nandi Chinna, draw on divergent and convergent threads through their multifaceted practices to adapt craft knowledge and slow-making in a contemporary world.
Likened to Alice in Wonderland meets the Anthropocene, Mélange features custom-designed tables on a collision course. Laden with transforming handcrafted tableware alluding to a flourishing feast, or a midden, the metamorphosed gallery environment holds coded ecological and cultural messages, conceptually drawing on the Darling Fault, a WA geological feature which runs through Mundaring and the Darling Ranges.

Welcome to Gaada-moorn-da Katamunda also known as the beautiful Perth Hills
The Perth Hills Tourism Alliance (PHTA) acknowledge the Noongar people of the “boodja”, the land on which we stand, work and play. We acknowledge the Aboriginal people as the First Nation People and their connection to the lands and the waters, as they are part of them spiritually and culturally. We acknowledge their ancestors, the Elders past and present, who have led the way for us to follow in their footsteps and the emerging leaders of today and tomorrow.
