Arryn Snowball's exhibition Slack Water is currently showing at USC Art Gallery from 18 February - 7 May 2022. The exhibition is a collaboration with Australian poet Nathan Shepherdson.
At the end of 2017, Shepherdson made 77 poems in response to Grant’s Guide to Fishes otherwise known as the ‘fisherman’s bible’. Slack Water brings together new and recent paintings, gouache studies, and experimental performance-based drawings by Snowball inspired by the poems as well as a growing understanding of what scientists have dubbed the Anthropocene—an unofficial term used to describe the present epoch in which humans have significantly impacted the planet’s climate and ecosystems.
