Long / Stent – Drinking From The Eye

Working together since 2010, Australian artists Honey Long and Prue Stent have developed a practice that traverses photography, performance, moving image, installation, and sculpture. Their art is grounded in experimentation between bodies, materials, and environments, and creates a space for the animate versus inanimate – the human and other – to interweave. The body is ever-present throughout ‘Drinking from the Eye’, both literally and figuratively. Often referencing historical representations of the female subject, the artists distort and fragment their bodies, creating creaturely hybrids in a constant state of becoming and flux, powerful imagery at once subversive and surreal.
