One of Australia’s most prominent contemporary artists, Fiona Hall is best known for extraordinary works that transform mundane man-made materials into vital organic forms with both contemporary and historical resonances. This trans-disciplinary survey exhibition at Heide Museum of Modern Art, highlights her recent practice and her continuing focus on the political interface between nature and culture.

Compelling new bodies of work appear alongside related earlier pieces, with the installation Fall Prey (created for dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel, Germany in 2012) at the core.
