Title: 1992 Beasts and Beauties (Contact period)
Location: Framed Art Gallery, Darwin NT
Date: 1992
Description: Major solo exhibition featuring the contact period works.  A dramatised mythological look at the 'contact' between the early white settlers and the aboriginal culture. The works focus on conflicts and harmonies in this strange meeting of power, persuasion, force, resistance and exchange between cultures in Australia. The works explore the ancient Dionysian, polymorphic nature gods in Aboriginal Australian culture coming into contact with 'one god' white man, and the resulting violent clash.
