Traces
of Memory
An exhibition
by Julie Millowick
Julie
Millowick’s work evokes an exquisite sense of melancholy.
Traces of Memory,
her most recent assemblies of botanic photograms, digital prints
and diary fragments, resonates with history, carrying with it
glimpses of past lives. Millowick’s images capture the complexity
of place and identity, the environmental and cultural
transformations and continuities of settlement, and touch upon the
personal and individual experience of hardship, displacement, loss
and yearning.
In these
delicate, poetic works, the white shadows of plants dissipate into
blackness, fine detail blurs into abstraction and form dissolves
into the formless.

40,000
+ 40
David Callow
Of ‘40,000 +
40’, David Callow writes: In 1967 a Referendum was held to change
the Australian Constitution. The Referendum ensured that the
Australian Federal Government could now include and make Law for
all Australians, Black and White, without discrimination ... and
that all Australians would be counted as one and recognised
officially in any future Census. This was to be the ‘turning
point’ for all Australians. 40 years on ... I just wanted to see
for myself. |
The
face of Italy
An exhibition
by Andrew Chapman
Andrew Chapman
does not show us the expected, but the unexpected. His images are
compelling portraits of faces he has found in the patina of walls
and roads. These mysterious shapes have emerged from surfaces that
have endured centuries of use and environmental stress. Through
his unique vision, Chapman has recognized these neglected faces
and rescued them from their chaotic landscape. He pays homage to
his mentor, John Cato, in this work based on the theory of
equivalence. |
