notes


NOTES:
+ investigate North Stradbroke Island - indigenous history in terms of moving through/across water, water craft, hunting (dugong, stingray etc from boats) midden residue, serpentine meandering of water across the landscape - colour caused when sunlight hits the water at an angle
+ closest burial trees with Auntie Sally
+ indigenous beliefs relevant to 'below water surface'
+ investigate Solomon Island Tree (roots)/Boat metaphor
+ photograph glass decanters underwater (fill with water sediment) - petri dishes - evaporate, rephotograph - relics of western shipwrecks - suggest layered history

+ return to fabric in the water (1980 images) above/in/below, Coochiemudlo dress images
+ Monet style 'strips' of mangrove (under the water line)
