Joan Brassil's second solo exhibition at Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery.
Exhibition Dates: 4 October – 22 October 1983
Stranger in a Landscape
Harmony and rhythms,
Earth decisions,
Mythologies of survival,
in an arid land.
Nomadic tools,
a stick, a stone,
Reduced forests,
toughened and dry.
Soft-footed animals,
leave plant undisturbed,
Tread softly for survival
in this land.
With voyages of discovery,
come migrations and exiles,
New decisions, with alien
codes.
A landscape migration,
of Druid Oak and Elm,
horns and hooves
grasses and grains
A Primal Australis
challenged and changed.
A migration of the written word,
a cursive line,
memory transferred,
A silent migration,
an ancestral web.
The stranger is the memory
that does not apply.
Strange visions,
the new ciphers
altering perception.
Time makes rhythms
for Earth decisions,
and visions,
visions,
visions.......
