- Artist Statement
- Reminiscent of lines written during a school detention, these phrases are drawn from films commissioned by the WA government in the 1960s and 70s; a recitation and a framed testamur. These titles written by a child act as signs pointing to settler-colonial thinking that links notions of individual and social progress to an expansionist ethos of industry and property ownership—Australai's Desterney. Despite the innocence—embodied in the tenor of voice and the deliberate nature of their handwriting—the violence carried by the grandiose language of the titles seeps into all the institutions of our lives.
