More Description
The tension between rains prises the dirt apart,
crickets scurry. Some kind of friction rises from within.
Travelling Through the Family brings rural Australia to life through a clear-eyed and provocative vision of the way the land and our treatment of animals moulds the people who work with them.
Family, its histories, inheritances and bonds form a powerful core to the collection. There are homages to fathers and daughters as well as self-portraits where the influence of a country upbringing is rendered in sobering, resonant style.
