The thesis aims to offer an expository yet ephemeral analysis of space-making that encompasses practices of dwelling or doing the landscape versus showing or exhibiting with the landscape within, explaining how practices concern performance, embodiment, and the everyday.
Our bodies hold memories, and rituals are a way of connecting ourselves to something familiar. Inspired by the narrative of rituals the motif of the Afghan Rug as a way of orienting bodies as well as the Australia rhetoric of meeting under a shaded cloth.
Works like Jon Olsen’s landscape paintings to Max Dupain’s Sunbaker encapsulate the traditional ‘Australian’ experience however Anna Zahlas’s staged photography highlights re imagined contemporary Australia.
My thesis question is How does a space for the ‘Australian women’ take place?
