Sacred Ground Beating Heart: Works by Judy Watson 1989-2003
CURATOR: Ted Snell
ARTIST: Judy Watson
Over the past fifteen years Judy Watson has won national and international recognition for her work; including representation in major survey exhibitions such as the First Asia Pacific Triennial in Brisbane, the Moet & Chandon Fellowship in 1993 and representation in exhibitions in Thailand, South Africa, the United States, New Zealand, France, India, Italy and the United Kingdom.
Sacred ground beating heart presents paintings and prints by Judy Watson that depict a highly personal vision of the land, which is the physical and conceptual framework that underpins her practice. In the exhibition catalogue Ted Snell writes, ‘her work speaks eloquently of the suffering of Aboriginal Australians, the massacres, prejudice and disdain, while simultaneously evoking the dignity and achievements of Aboriginal people. A contemporary artist, she bridges both cultures and works in the space between to create a powerful image of reconciliation and understanding.’
This exhibition toured to Ho Chi Minh City, Colombo, Manila (2004).
