Articulate Matter

Articulate Matter is a manifesto to our relationship with air. The continent generally perceives itself as experiencing good air quality, despite various events such as bushfires causing extreme short-term impacts. As these once-infrequent events increase in occurrences and duration over the past decade, we are confronted with reality – average temperatures are rising, and regions are experiencing higher dust pollutants.

We also understand that what we derive from air depends on what we put into it. An infinite loop of air changing life and our living changing air. This isn’t passive. Articulate Matter is an expression of gratitude, of concern, of hope, and of acknowledgment that the air around us is our durational self-portrait.
