Elsewhere Brydee Rood

Brydee Rood uses ideas of proliferation and dispersal to investigate changing habitats and shrinking environments. Exploring habitats that change through the explosion of animal populations and human exploitation of the environment. The project in the lower gallery simulates an eco system where there are no boundaries; breeding, spreading, proliferation and dispersal are possible as in nature. Rood pushes the work beyond the boundaries of the gallery by inviting the viewer to actively participate in this ‘dispersal’ process by taking away yellow vinyl possum stickers that she refers to these as “takeout possum proliferation component”.

"The Lower Gallery offers a kind of containment, in which I would like the work firstly to inhabit and then push beyond: Things from elsewhere taking over the habitat." - Brydee Rood
