After Nature is artist Janet Laurence’s first major survey, and tracks 30 years of her career since the 1990s. The exhibition has evolved from two decades of collaboration between Laurence and MCA Chief Curator Rachel Kent, who curated Laurence’s exhibition Muses at the Ian Potter Museum of Art, The University of Melbourne in 2000.
