Materials such as willow branch and fabric, have been crafted into forms that function as pools, filters and surfaces, each object uniquely responding to the gallery space. These elements, along with air, light and movement converge to shape the viewer’s experience. Beth’s site-specific sculptural practice stems from an exploration of space, and the dynamic relationship that exists between people, materials and their surroundings. Her works emerge out of careful observation of everyday encounters, from the shifting play of light and shadow or the intricate pattern of a spider’s web, focussing on transient details and often overlooked qualities—her works are an invitation to observe the phenomena around us and create opportunities for intimate encounters with objects, materials and sites. Beth’s collaborative approach to individual projects reflects the interdisciplinary nature of her artistic process. Whether in gallery settings or outdoor environments, she explores the potential of sculpture to create meaningful connections. This year marks a significant chapter in her career as she embarks on a project that expands her practice into a broader field, undertaking a residency at Public Realm Lab, she will be working architects, researchers, a writer, a curator, and her local community in South Gippsland, where she lives and works on Gunaikurnai Country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51397acde4b0052c92db400c/1442232107487-OUYNTJ2A59D8QZ5JGBGW/IMG_1606.jpg Artworks Work produced during time as Artist in Residence: School of Visual and Performing Arts, Inveresk, University of Tasmania, Australia, 2012. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51397acde4b0052c92db400c/1442232212458-PS1SZCTFHSD4TCM1M8YM/04.jpg Artworks Beth Arnold, Untitled, 2012.

On Wednesday 12 December 2024, the local playgroups and families were invited to create a giant cubby house from borrowed material. Onlookers saw it growing, spilling out into the Manna Community Garden! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51397acde4b0052c92db400c/1770004412321-EVYUGZQD1JSJT0SWH2J7/1339_WEB.jpg Workshops and Public Programs I Play Here offers children a unique, free opportunity to engage with the physical world through creative, hands-on experiences. Sessions took place at Manna Gum Community House, Foster. Local artist and facilitator Beth Arnold provided a "kit" of creative activities for open-ended, sensory exploration. All activities are directly inspired by the immediate environment, offering an embodied way for children to connect with their local place. This Children’s Week event is presented by Manna Gum Community House in partnership with the Victorian Government Photos by Natalie van Aken https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51397acde4b0052c92db400c/1770004766755-IYIXSG59HKY742GR8A0Y/IMG_8742.jpg Workshops and Public Programs Run by HOME Research, this was a creative workshop titled Turning the Clay, artist-led by Beth Arnold and Emil Toonen with the Nillumbik Mudbrick Association and Team Leader Dr Patrick West and Research Assistant Bart van Bueren. Situated in the mud brick hub of Eltham the workshop looked to play/investigate/experiment with ideas from mud brick buildings to help inform thinking towards contemporary applications of waste resources as affordable and sustainable building alternatives. The workshop was an imaginative exploration of making, centering the process of mudbrick construction. It focused on an embodied, hands on experience of making with mud and the tactile and sensory experience of natural building materials. It questioned how these materials can situate us, what the potential of collective action has on creating community and home, and be a starting point for discussion around the impact of waste in construction challenges and climate awareness. The workshop was an opportunity for exchange and seeding possibilities through an imaginative lens.

The Relational Ecologies Laboratory was presented by CACP Network members and artists Katie Lee, Mark Friedlander, Beth Arnold, Terri Bird and Clare McCracken with CACP curator Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris. The Laboratory was a relational artwork staged over the three months of the exhibition, in which network members built an inventory and do what climate aware artists do best; work across precarious platforms, sharing, reworking, collaborating and understanding the materiality of artistic circular economies. The Lab could be thought of as a sculptural work, a residency, an incubator and a publicly focused exhibition working space. Documentation of Lab Notations session, held in the Relational Ecologies Laboratory, featuring distributed text artwork by Katie Lee, text/t-shirt series. Participating students: Juilette Wehling (RMIT), Aditi Singh (Deakin University), and Aisyah Fardinansyah (Deakin University).

Different work stations were set up where members of the pubic were encouraged to have a go and be guided through sculptural processes centered around mould making and casting. The outcomes formed a growing installation over the period of the Lorne Sculpture Biennale 2014.
