Terra Australis Incognita
(the unknown land of the South)
Brenda May Gallery
August 25 to September 20
Sydney
‘Terra Australis Incognita’ is a continuation of ideas that were first developed in ‘Waking Dreams: An Australian Portrait’.
In this recent work I have begun to explore issues concerning identity within an historically colonial context. This has come about through my interest in exploring different connotations of ‘colonialism’ from an African perspective, where I was born, as compared to the Australian experience.
