Abstract

Reading Namadgi comprises etchings, wood block prints, drawings and sound recordings, the result of a year long field-based project in Namadgi National Park, south west of Canberra. A recent honours graduate of the ANU School of Art’s Printmedia and Drawing workshop, Antonia Aitken developed these works on site during 2006. They form part of her ongoing visual and conceptual exploration of a strongly felt attachment to the land. Through her site specific art practice she intendsto continue questioning concepts of place and belonging for non-indigenous people in post colonial Australia.[press release]
