Translation: To change form

Photograph by Russell James. Collaborative art by Clifton Bieundurry (AUS).

5’ x 7’ archival pigment ink printed on rag cotton with acrylic and ochre applications.

James’ photograph represents the point where the ocean and the land met, symbolizing the end of the period of Innocence but prior to the arrival of Inhibition in the form of conflict, the calm before the storm.

Bieundurry’s collaborative art represents the spirits of the water/land moving freely through time and place. The spirit is represented by the pirlirr images at the top and the bottom. His ancestors moved freely in their ‘country’, their spirits were born of the earth and returned to the place from where they came.

The art piece represents its namesake, the end of ‘Innocence’ before it was fully realized.
