http://www.embodiedterrain.com/Narelle Carter-Quinlan BAppSc. Her work is an embodied ecology of the land and waterscapes of the inner and outer. An academically trained Anatomist and Histologist, she has always seen and experienced the land and ocean echoed throughout my body. She makes images of this relationship as her body senses itself; a finely attenuated and present awareness. As a dance maker and performer, she inhabits and moves through and within Country as felt, known, poetic Place, listening to and sounding, the landscape. Her images contain codes of consciousness, offering the body and psyche direct knowing. She integrate this way of experiencing, in her work as a yoga therapist specialising in yoga with Scoliosis, and as a meditation Teacher. She currently lives solo aboard a sailboat, harvesting and curating recent work from the ecosytems of sandstone sea cliffs, mangrove mud estuaries, black sand windswept and caved coasts, Tannin creek outflows on white sand beaches, in geomes from the subarctic regions to the subtropics. She is a Transformer.
