The Last Nautilus by Madeleine Challender
by Cell Art Space
(109 Lake St Cairns, Ergon Energy Building Window Front)
An Illuminated Shadow Puppet Installation
Madeleine Challender's exhibition is an Illuminated Shadow Puppet Installation called The Last Nautilus - A Light Story. It describes the journey of a nautilus - whom has found himself alone, in the future, when the world is no longer as we know it today. He remembers his past, and recalls the stories of his ancestors, which he tries to keep alive through communication with other sea creatures.
With the help of a whale and some lantern fish, he explores the ocean in search of something - something that we are all searching for - that which completes us. The fragile beauty of life, family, the environment, and cultures are revealed in story.

The exhibition is viewable 24/7, FREE, and finishes 30th April 2010.
