The second exhibition in Blacktown Arts' Terra inFirma series, the art explores country, landscape, sovereignty, memory, trauma and identity.
DARKpassage is an installation that considers the invisible layers of place vibrating across time.
The abstract forms are inspired by smooth-bark gums glinting in the moonlight reminding us this was once a richly inhabited woodland co-inhabited and cared for.
Other exhibiting artists include Alex Byrne, Gary Carsley, Dean Cross, Brian Fuata, Jasmine Guffond, Leanne Tobin and Judy Watson.
In the year marking the 250th anniversary of James Cook's arrival in Australia, and with the Black Lives Matter movement bringing focus to the ongoing impacts of colonisation globally, Terra inFirma is a timely body of work.
Artists reflect upon the complexity and significance of Country, not limited to the physical grounds we stand on, but the histories and experiences absorbed by that land.
The exhibition will run until Tuesday, November 3.
Visit the Blacktown Arts website to view the exhibition online.
The gallery is also open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm at 78 Flushcombe Road, Blacktown.
