Creative Access Description
A colour landscape image of works installed in a gallery space with white walls and cement floors. There is a row of tall, cedar poles pointed on both ends, resembling spears, standing upright balanced against the wall on the back of the space with the pointed ends on the floor. Mounted on the right side of the wall is a long, rectangular painting, in landscape orientation. The painting is of an abstract scene with ripples and organic lines and forms in shades of orange, pink, red and black. To the right of this, are 5 tall, pointed cedar poles, resembling spears, standing upright balanced against the wall with the pointed ends on the floor. Near the bottom of the poles is a black, stylized, turtle-shaped sculpture sitting on the ground with another two turtle-shaped sculptures on the left, closer to the left wall and another two near the back left corner of the space. On the wall to the left, long, thin white sculptures resembling grass stalks stood up, side-by-side in a row, against a white wall. The sculptures are made out of grass and hair bound and wrapped together with cotton and linen strips forming tall, stiff stakes of varying heights. The stalks have braided tails that curl on the floor with the tops tipped with black hair, wrapped resembling the tips of grass stalks.Description
