JOAN ROSS
Covering the surface of Australia Fair Tower, this enormous, animated projection will make you ponder the question – could you imagine a world where colonisers cared about the environment or the original inhabitants of the land? Combining landscape paintings, colonial images, and elements of western culture, Joan Ross uses her iconic fluorescent ‘high vis’ yellow to symbolise the impact and ongoing legacy of Australian colonization.
Bold and experimental, Joan Ross' practice investigates the legacy of colonialism in Australia with a particular focus on reconfiguring the colonial Australian landscape and drawing attention to the complex and ongoing issues surrounding the effects of globalisation and colonisation.
