Statement
From the series 'Party/Planet', this piece encourages viewers to reflect on how we – particularly those of us embedded in Western capitalism – view the earth as something beautiful for our consumption, but how continual consumption will result in the destruction of the beauty we admire. By placing the disco ball in among natural environments, I highlight the tensions of our contemporary world- particularly the disconnect between the pleasure-seeking pursuits of the human race, and the Earth we rely on to sustain us.
Prudence’s experiences of travelling, working and living all over the world have inspired her to use art as a tool to fight complacency, leading her to produce works that encourage questions and help challenge the status quo.
