Honey Long and Prue Stent open new solo exhibition in Rome, Italy
Grotto launches a solo exhibition from Honey Long and Prue Stent at GOMMA, Rome.
“In Grotto – explains the curator and gallerist Camilla Carè – Long and Stent bring a series of surreal snapshots that speak of mystery, letting us enter a synthetic cave of their imagination. The artists use their camouflaged bodies, allowing faceless apparitions to emerge from the female form. Sometimes statuesque, sometimes creators, the bodies in Grotto inhabit a timeless space. We have a history of appropriations behind us. Of lands, of bodies, of animal, vegetal and aquatic otherness. In the thirst for individual existence, these colonizers proceeded to categorize, designing a modern past under the banner of the supremacy of man and science over nature. To this day, there still remains a cultural weight on these bodies, which instead claim their belonging to an interdependent plurality. We flow, they seem to whisper. They are human, non-human and more-than-human beings, aquatic and shimmering and changeable forms, which draw new relationships between the organic and inorganic world.”

HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT feature in 'Conflated' at Deakin Art Gallery
HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT with Amrita Hepi are featured in 'Conflated' now open at @deakinartgallery
The exhibition is a @netsvictoria touring exhibition, curated by Zoë Bastin and Claire Watson.
When we inhale and exhale, our bodies transform through the process of inflation and deflation. Drawing on the inflatable form as both material and metaphor, ‘Conflated’ brings disparate artists together to explore bodies, environments and cultures through contemporary art. Here, the cycle of breathing serves as a framework through which a wide array of experiences, behaviours and expressions are examined.
'Conflated' continues until Friday 9 June 2023, open Monday to Friday 11am – 5pm. Admission is free.
Amrita Hepi with Honey Long and Prue Stent ‘Omphallus’ (still), 2021, digital video, 3 minutes 30 seconds.

OPENING TONIGHT
NATURE KNOT: what does it mean to be tied, bound, connected, tangled with nature?
An exhibition of work tethered to the natural world. Humans create knots to secure and to hold onto things tightly. But the natural world hates constraints and resists our desire to ensnare.
Featuring ARC ONE Gallery’s Cyrus Tang, Honey Long & Prue Stent, joined by Marina Rolfe, the 2022 recipient of the ARC ONE Artist Opportunity
All welcome. OPEN from 6PM, Wednesday, 8 February.

Honey Long & Prue Stent, Touching Pool, 2019, Installation view Carlton Library Light Boxes, September 2022.
HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT in The Carlton Library Light Boxes
Inspired by the touching pool often found at aquariums and the sensorial connections with nature they elicit, this series speaks to the interconnectedness of bodies and environments as well as the conflicted and estranged relationship we have with the more-than-human world. Using a pared down visual language of colour, texture, and form, Touching Pool captures performative encounters between the artists' own bodies and the natural environment. In these works, synthetic materials blend and merge the body and landscape. Up close and abstracted, animals and riverbeds contain a sense of fluidity and vibrancy which can be felt throughout the series, revealing sights/sites of commonality and connection.
The public art light boxes are located on the exterior wall of the library on Newry Street, near the corner of Rathdowne Street.
Until 20 March 2023

HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT at The Gertrude Street Projection Festival 2022
Honey Long & Prue Stent, Drinking from the screen, 2020, single-channel video, stereo sound, 4 min, edition of 3, 1/3.
We loved seeing HONEY LONG & PRUE STENTS incredible film 'Drinking from the Screen' at the 2022 Gertrude Street Projection Festival on the weekend.
‘Drinking from the screen’ is a meditation on longing for the more than human world and our increasing dependency on computer screens as a means of connection. Intended as a massage for the eyes, the artists press their own bodies up against glass and try to connect to watery environs.

HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT have been featured online in an Artist Profile article.
“As two friends who first started taking photos together when we were sixteen years old, our artistic process sprung from a place of curiosity, impulse and desire. This sense of playfulness has become the foundational element with which we continue to work. Although precognitive at the time, we seemed to recognise a mutual desire to explore our female bodies, sexuality, and surrounding natural environment as a way of feeling connected to the space we were occupying.”
