SHANNON BRETT: I LOVE A SON BURNT COUNTRY
6 March - 12 April 2015
Shannon Brett's artworks are a narrative of her own experiences as an Aboriginal woman living in a modern urban society. Brett aims to reject the notion of the submissive native woman as depicted in staged historic settings captured at the beginning of the 20th century. Recreating these historic settings, Brett incorporates images of women who are the embodiment of stoic empowerment, thereby exploring internal and external realities whilst addressing issues of validity and respect.
