Structure represents aspiration
Redacting the placards
Biases and falsities
Ambiguous and potential
Accepted versions
A kind of grandeur
Imaginative rehistorisation
Thinker of apartheid
'The Library of Unborrowed Books'
Roots by Alex Huxley
Far from the madding crowd
Sydney Mechanics
Acquisition and transference of knowledge
Death of the book
Fragility of life
These literary orphans
Economic disparity
Simply bewildering
Often violent history
Shifting circumstances
Of exiles, emerges, refugees
Constellations
Simplicity of their creation
Splintery cobwebs
Zhao's creation
Of aesthetic beauty
A symbol of hope
Sic transit
Inside the Ear of Dioysius
The Prefiche
Edge of extinction
Corporeal death
States of rapture
Weak in colour but strong in blood
Eugenic practices
Anthropologist and ethnologist
Different fruit skins
Broken black bush plums
Dangerous forms of stereotyping
Shape attitudes around Aboriginality
Language of fable
Gravitas
Highlights the crux
Manipulated by
False prophets
Legacies
Bidjara artist 'Modern Dreaming'
Protagonist
Deep and constant lonliness
Still suffered
Humble and understanding approach
The Great Jabir continued
Look askance
Time as tempo-linear
Sculptural and kinetic
Rhythmic and animalistic
Finite resource
Continuous projections
A brood of chickens
And a wallaby
Inanimate and ambiguous
Invokes the potential
Reignite
Te Ao's gesture similarly opens
The powerful phrase
'I forgive you'
Need to forgive others
Aboriginal and British heritage
A mass healing
Creating an antidote,
Thus passes the glory of the world.
