Untitled (Evidence), 2018 -
Installed at Grey St Gallery, Queensland College of Art. 2019.
Untitled (Evidence) investigates the built environment as a site of ongoing colonial violence, interpreting tyre tracks and other marks in the landscape as a form of scarring. The cement casts of vehicle tracks reject the deployment of identity politics and representations of distinct people, turning instead towards the landscape and the marks made on it by human agency. The decision to not overtly implicate the artist’s body nor biography functions as an acknowledgement, and an attempt to eschew, the privileged position from which the artist pursues their practice.
