Penelope Cain’s practice centres around land, water and air storytellings from the Anthropocene and Post-Carbon. These occupied, colonised, extracted and transformed lands, and the other-than-human future-fables and mythologies, as they emerge in this end-Anthropocene.
With a science background Penelope Cain’s art practice is located between scientific knowledge and unearthing connective untold narratives in the world. She work across media and knowledge streams, with scientists, datasets, people, residues and land, drawing on more-than-human entry points.
Penelope has exhibited in curated exhibitions in Rome, Seoul, Shanghai, London, Taiwan and Sydney. She has been awarded a series of interdisciplinary residencies operating at sci-art intersections, including S+T+ARTS, Joint Research Centre (JRC) Ispra and EU Digital Deal Ars Electronica (2024). The outcome of the JRC collaboration and commission is currently exhibited in ‘NaturArchy’ at IMAL, Brussels.
She lives and works between The Hauge and Sydney.
