Time Stretches My Limits is an exhibi on of new work by Dalmeny based ar st Natasha Dusenjko. Incorpora ng large-scale video projec on and photography, it is a sonic and visual self-portrait exploring me in the context of self-isola on. Created amidst intermi ent COVID lockdowns, the work was made inside the ar st’s studio; a heritage listed former church in Dalmeny and is a psychological and visceral experience. Dusenjko’s past work featured landscape rather than portraiture, exploring themes of iden ty, geography and displacement. In 2018 Dusenjko relocated to Dalmeny, since then her work has focused more on experimental sound and photography, culmina ng in this exhibi on. For Time Stretches My Limits Natasha turns the camera on herself, allowing playful improvisa on to lead the way, while conceptually engaging a mirror and features of the former church. Natasha says: “I’ve been lucky to be granted access to the church in Dalmeny to use as a studio, friends of mine were generous enough to let me use it before they begin renova ons. It became clear to me early on, that the work I made here would somehow document the passage of me in this liminal space; no longer a place of formal worship, the building itself is in the slow and crea ve process of becoming something else.” Born in Melbourne Natasha Dusenjko has exhibited in solo and group exhibi ons around Australia, she has received an Australia Council New Work grant and the 2015 Centre for Contemporary Photography Salon prize for best use of photomedia. Her work is included in the Na onal Gallery of Australia collec on and in private collec ons of art curators, museum directors and established contemporary Australian ar sts. Time Stretches My Limits is part of the Basil Sellers Exhibi on program ‘Bas about Town’. With support from Create NSW and South East Arts, Natasha was one of three local ar sts selected to exhibit at The Mechanics Ins tute. The Exhibi on has also received addi onal support from Create NSW as part of the COVID development grant. ‘Time Stretches My Limits’ by Natasha Dusenjko Where: Mechanics Ins tute, 15 Page Street, Moruya, NSW Australia Dates: Saturday 30 October to Saturday 13 November 2021 Open: 10am-2pm, Wednesday to Sunday Opening event: 5:30pm, Friday 29 October 2021 A COVID safety plan is in place for this event, numbers are strictly limited so bookings are essen al h ps:// www.eventbrite.com.au/e/185638749497
