Southerly Change

Anna-Marie OBrien
Sandra Schmidt
Dave Ellis
David Cauchi

Tuesday 02 August - 21 August

David Ellis makes 3-D weather maps. “The weather maps on the news always held a fascination – the mysterious symbols translated into rain or sun by the friendly always glamorous weather girls and their wooden pointers. In the paper I always preferred the weather section to the horoscopes” he said.
Sandra Schmidt’s has made-over her hometown in East Germany in plastic bricks. In Southerly Change she recreates the town as a series of burning buildings fanned by invisible winds. The flames seem both to inhabit the buildings and be part of their architectural decoration.
Anna-Marie O’Brien’s paintings of figures in the blustery landscape contemplate the weather on the horizon. They seem to see into the distance or fixate on the minutiae at hand. Thick atmospheric skies threaten to overwhelm and envelop.
David Cauchi’s landscape frieze Naming the land, explores a fictional coastline in perfect weather. “Explorers of a new land make sense of it by breaking up the continuous landscape into discrete chunks - bays, peninsulas, mountains, valleys - and naming those chunks. This is also the process we use to make sense of the world. We each pick out signs and markers and ascribe them significance and meaning in terms of our own experience. We each inhabit a world of our own making,” he said.
