About the work

The print ‘Wax Diptych’ is a sensory dual image work taken from Honey Long & Prue Stent’s recently launched photobook ‘Drinking From The Eye’, commissioned by PHOTO Australia for PHOTO 2024.

“Both of these photos were taken in very different environments which is partly why I think the pairing is so satisfying. Both capture a feeling of merging and of two bodies meeting each other – one being a friend’s body and the ocean, and the other being rain and hot earth” says Honey Long.

Over the past 10 years, Long & Stent have developed their signature style of experimental photography-performance interventions in familiar and alien environments. With careers spanning traditional photography, sculpture, performance, and fashion, Long & Stent are masters of making us feel a certain type of way about having a physical body, how we perceive bodies, and the relentlessly slippery relationship between physicality and nature.
