Data and Dirt – Sandra Cowan

This body of work is about place, and the ineffable quality of place. I am curious about the numinous quality we experience in some places, sometimes known as spirit of place, or by the Tibetan word drala, which may be easier to perceive in places that are known as spiritual or sacred sites. It is something we can perceive and that affects us when we are at the site, but cannot easily be communicated through photography, language, quantification, or anything beyond direct experience.

re (Read) – Don Ahnahnsisi McIntyre

(re)Read superimposes is a small collection of legal words and phrases, used to describe indigenous states of being, that most people don’t understand.  We accept this unrecognizable jargon without question.  In the work of Reconciliation, it is essential that we all question what the law, and our governments write as right.  Superimposing traditional iconography, I have written the stories of Aboriginal peoples and matched those with Western treatise.  The result is an artistic and social bricolage that we must work to comprehend.
