Easter camping trip. I needed that. #centralaustralia#secretsquirrelcampspot #alicesprings
The Women’s Museum of Australia shares a site with the Old Alice Springs Gaol. This gap I filled yesterday is at the entry of the men’s cell block and is an excerpt from the old gaol ledger from the 1940s where crimes and sentences were listed. This bloke got 2 weeks for entering a prohibited area, which for Aboriginal people at the time was pretty much the entire town - a 5 mile radius from the post office in the centre of town. These ordinances remained in place in various forms right up until the 1960s. #mindthegaps #artistsinmuseums #artback #womensmuseumofaustralia #pioneerwomenshalloffame #oldalicespringsgaol #australianceramics
“mind the gaps” Artist in Museums install continues. Kinda loving this slow detailed process and all the chats I get to have with museum visitors during the day! #artistsinmuseums #mindthegaps #artback #womensmuseumofaustralia #australianceramics
A loooong slow week of install for my work “mind the gaps” at the Women’s Museum of Australia for the Artists in Museums project. Working my way around the walls and footpaths filling all the gaps and cracks with old ceramics as well as imagery from their collection (letters, maps, prison records etc) that I’ve transferred onto porcelain tiles. The fun bit is smashing them. Putting them back together not so fun. Although strangely meditative. What was I thinking??? 🤪 #artistsinmuseums #artback #womensmuseumofaustralia #australianceramics#MGA2019
The view yesterday from inside the walls of The Old Alice Springs Gaol and the (soon to be) Australian Women’s Museum, where I’ve been researching the archives for an upcoming project Artists in Museums running concurrently with the Museums Galleries Australia National Conference being held here in Alice Springs in May. Deeply mired in history both inspiring and disturbing #artistsinmuseums #MGA2019 #oldaljcespringsgaol #nationalpioneerwomenshalloffame #australianwomensmuseum #artback
