Australian Museum CEO and Executive Director Kim McKay in conversation with celebrated Australian artist Janet Laurence, artist-in-resident at the Australian Museum. "There has always been a museumification in my work, I'm always thinking of creating my own little museums... I've made many many models of little museums I'd love to make." Janet has created the installation "Deep Breathing', made from glass and coral, to emulate a life-saving resuscitation unit and draw attention to the impacts of global warming on one of the world’s great natural wonders - the Great Barrier Reef. "Often my work is celebrating the beauty and extraordinary aspects of nature, but I feel compelled to reveal - in a state of emergency - what's happening." Janet’s work was inspired during a residency at the AM’s Lizard Island Research Station (LIRS) situated on the Reef. It is a powerful work that addresses the threat of climate change and human interference to our precious marine environment.
