Brutalism In The Bush
"I’m in the vast Australian outback, Country of the Eastern Arrernte people in the natural landscape of Munga-Thirri, also known as The Simpson Desert.
This land holds a savage beauty, the terrain and disregarded ruins strike me - my imagination is engaged… I envision bright colours cut against earth, sky and rock - like a portal to another place in another time, where dreams are magical, and momentous.
The undone concrete and rawness of earth conjures up Brutalism In The Bush: a concept that arouses architectural elements, and summons the brutality of the desert in a surreal space, open to interpretation"
