Metamorph
My submission for Metamorph, an exploration of transformation by No Vacancy Gallery, takes the form of a series of Pentimento* video clips, observing the transformation of landscape as footprints of colonisation of the Australian landscape. The images are original drawings by myself, overlaid with other drawings by myself, or a stylised Google Earth image. Thanks to Lin Baird for assistance with Video clips.
The videos are accompanied by selections of prose from my travel journals.

* A pentimento (plural pentimenti) is "the presence or emergence," in a painting, "of earlier images, forms, or strokes that have been changed and painted over." [1] The word is Italian for repentance, from the verb pentirsi, meaning to repent.
