Forest of No Distance
9 - 24 September 2005
Gallery 3

The 'Forest of No Distance' is a place of loss; the loss of measurement, the loss of distance, the loss of structure, the loss of species and the loss of culture and ceremony. Things go missing in the 'Forest of No Distance'. Things like time.

'Forest of No Distance' is an installation of a multiple views of a 'cabinet of curiosities' with ethnographic objects from a society that does not exist, an artist's interpretation of space in nature, and over scaled dioramic twigs from a pine plantation. The work combines digital and traditional printmedia practice.

The artist acknowledges the support of Monash University (GCAD), RMIT (Printmaking), and Monash College (A&D).
