Emptiness
Date
1997
Gallery
Graduate Show, Victorian College of Arts, University of Melbourne, Australia
Awarded
Lavazza George Gallery 12-month studio residency and solo exhibition
In 1996, I invited numerous people - including prominent Australian figures in the arts, sciences, community and sports, to reflect on and write down what they believed Emptiness to be. Eighty-six entries were included in a limited edition book.
These were exhibited on a plinth within a castle facade that was constructed from transparent bricks made from A4 polypropylene copies of the entries.
My entry written a quarter of a century ago expresses a notion that I is still exploring today: that of ones' own capacity to discover potential beyond the concepts of that which usually binds us.
Other entries include:
Prof. Sir Gustav Nossal, AC, CBE; Shane Gould OBE; Prof. Kevin Hart, theologian, poet; Ringu Tulku Rinpoche, Tibetan lama; Dr Charles Green, artist, academic; Isabella, 6 year old friend.
