An exhibition of installation, drawing and video by Cindy Yuen-Zhe Chen.

In partnership with Chatswood Year of the Ox Festival, Willoughby City Council presents an exhibition of installation, drawing and video by Cindy Yuen-Zhe Chen to celebrate Lunar New Year 2021. Resonant Flows explores the interdependent relationship which exists between our bodies, places and water. Chen responds to the continual flux of atmospheric changes and sonic events through experimental drawing, listening and sounding processes. In doing this, her work examines the reciprocal effects of her interactions with bodies of water such as Middle Harbour, Lane Cove River and Parramatta River. By acknowledging the manifold cultural, environmental, social and economic factors that shape our relationship with water in Australia, Chen’s work draws attention to the meaningful connections that we create as individuals.
