PHANEROZOIC The Phanerozoic Eon is the current geologic eon in the geologic time scale, and the one during which abundant animal and plant life has existed. It covers 541 million years to the present, and it began with the Cambrian Period when animals first developed hard shells preserved in the fossil record. 4 | JENNY CROMPTON PHANEROZOIC | & GALLERY

JENNY CROMPTON -

Concerned with the growing pressures imposed on the natural world, Australian artist Jenny Crompton creates effervescent sculptures that ignite environmental awareness and personal reflection. The works delve into the world of organisms and creatures, taking the viewer on an otherworldly journey through nature. Despite any hint of melancholy, her works are also celebratory. They seem to float, weightless, oranges, scarlets and crimsons bursting from webs of shell and remind us of the sheer bounteous nature of this planet. But these environs she so clearly cherishes are under extreme peril. Despite the imperialistic shrugs of indifferent developers and conservatives, the world, under our own hand, is changing at a catastrophic rate. There is, accordingly, a degree of melancholy underscoring her work. Crompton’s creatures, with their vibrissae protuberances, extended receptors, decorative flourishes and peering eyes created an entire tribe of fantastical entities. By utilising nature as a core of their practice she lights a flare of warning and ignites a fire of recognition of the natural world. In 2016 Jenny won the Sculpture Trail Award and Peoples Choice Award at the Lorne Sculpture Biennale and has exhibited at National Gallery of Victoria, Craft Victoria, MARS Gallery, Biennale of Australian Art.
