Working between Wedderburn and Bundeena - the land and the sea – Teresa Bell asked 12 artists to respond to this moment in geologic time. A time of sea level rises, wildfires, mass extinctions and despite us; breathtaking beauty.

Land and Sea – Teresa Bell

And as the eels lay offshore in the March Sea, waiting for the time when they should enter the waters of the land, the sea, too, lay restless, awaiting the time when once more it should encroach upon the coastal plain, and creep up the sides of the foothills, and lap at the bases of the mountain ranges. As the waiting of the eels off the mouth of the bay was only an interlude in a long life filled with constant change, so the relation of sea and coast and mountain ranges was that of a moment in geologic time. For once more the mountains would be worn away by the endless erosion of water and carried in silt to the sea, and once more all the coast would be water again, and the places of its cities and towns would belong to the sea.
Rachel Carson, Under the Sea-Wind

Teresa Bell

Teresa Bell is an artist who through an exploration of the use of language in various media—poetry, painting, film, installation and performance—probes ideas of the invisible borders of art, philosophy and the human experience. Bell frequently collaborates with other artists, writers, and philosophers and is interested in the ways spaces and art forms work off each other to create a unique ephemeral experience.

Teresa has a passion for poetry and theatre. This passion has seen her establish Australia’s first national poetry centre, work as Artistic Director for various theatre companies, win the George Fairfax Award for her play Taize, produce award-winning short films for the Melbourne Film Festival, direct and tour theatre to most states in Australia, create work for numerous international festivals, publish three books of poetry and saw her first novel Lunation shortlisted for the Dorothy Hewett Award.

Teresa has a Doctorate in Creative Writing from the University of Wollongong and is a member of the Wedderburn Artist community.
