“In responding to the collection Robson has particularly explored the idea and power of the line - a universal mapping device by which space is defined, boundaries delineated, relationships laid out, the course of journeys documented and ownership claimed. It is the line that can bring us together and connect us, as much as it can divide and separate us. It is the line, both literal and metaphorical, the intersections and boundaries it creates, that has served as the starting point for much of this work”.

A Sense of Place. Slipcast porcelain. As well as my own work there are a number of works from the Araluen art collection included in my exhibition - works that for me particularly evoked a sense of place through the use of line and cartographic references and that were influential on my own works. Two of these works are Queenie McKenzie’s wonderful Lithograph on paper “Yoonnorr country near Mistake Creek” 1995, and Alec Baker’s “Ngurra (Country)”, ink on paper 2016. Swipe to see both of these works. A privilege to be in the gallery alongside them #intersectionsandboundaries #asenseofplace #creativeinresidence #araluenartscentre #artsnt #alicesprings #mapping #place #australianceramics
