We acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of the lands upon which our campus is situated, the people of the Boon Wurrung and Woi Wurrung, who have created art, made music and told their stories here for thousands of generations. We also acknowledge and extend our respect to the Traditional Owners of all lands on which our work is viewed, shared and enjoyed, and to all Elders, past, present and emerging.

These paintings are placeholders of time’s passage. . .what goes beyond the frame, in the frame, the investigation continues. I will not wallow in this though. The daily act of attention. The physical trace. A silent record. And I know there’s more out there. Please do not ask me to explain this; it’s only a hunch.
