 Cloud
Collectors
opens
at
Articulate
project
 space
on
Friday
3
February
2012,
with
work
 by
artists
Juliet
Fowler
Smith,
Jason
O'Brien,
 Nola
Farman,
Noelene
Lucas
and
Peter
 Charuk.

The
exhibition
is
open
11am
‐
5pm
 each
Friday
to
Sunday
until
25
February.
 
 The
artists
have
each
had
a
long
fascination
 for
the
diffuse,
changeable
and
ephemeral
nature
of
clouds.
Despite
being
water,
clouds
 are
not
called
water
because
they
are
so
unlike
it.
They
manifest
in
their
own
vastly
 different
forms
that
change
according

to
circumstances
and
conditions.
Because
of
the
 mystery
of
being
both
changeable
in
form
and
constant
in
material,
they
are
readily
 available
as
a
metaphor
for
the
nature
of
existence
and
the
perceived
relativity
of
time.
 Yet
they
are
also
very
commonplace,
the
unseen
background
to
everyday
life,
but
one
 that
has
recently
taken
on
a
new
significance
with
the
heightened
awareness
of
climate
 change
and
environmental
conditions.

 
 The
artists
use
a
variety
of
media
to
explore
their
interests
in
this
diverse
subject:
Peter
 Charuk's
photo
and
video
installation,
Jason
O'Brien's
scattered
circular
photographs
and
 related
floor
elements
and
Noelene
Lucas'
multiple
LED
screens
for
video
works
will
be
 anchored
in
the
space
with
sculptural
works
by
Juliet
Fowler
Smith
and
Nola
Farman.
