A series of photographic works by Honey Long & Prue Stent were recently transformed into large-scale, site-specific public art and exhibited on the corner of Barrack and York Streets as part of the City of Sydney’s Creative Hoardings Program. “We hope our work provides an interesting break in the cityscape and sparks people’s thoughts and feelings about their own bodily experiences,” Prue Stent and Honey Long discussed about ‘Suspended Figures’. This series of shrouded figures playfully distorts the human form, creating a dream-like landscape intended to interrupt everyday thoughts and spark the imagination. The fluid and abstract shapes – created by the body interacting with fabric and wind – are left open for the viewer to make their own associations.
