The Fall

Each leaf has it’s own identity, but as a whole they form a collective sense of movement, leading the eye to a central screen which has a video work of the leaves furling and unfurling. The virtual leaves are animated in contrast to the installation, which is captured as a freeze frame on the walls.

This work is about re-contextualising the landscape. As a non-Indigenous Australian, Evans searches for her place in this landscape to understand how to ‘see’ it from within, rather than as a ‘view’ in the European tradition.

“I have a peripheral experience of the landscape which I have inherited from the relatively short time in which my people have been here, however I believe that as non-Indigenous people, we need to experience the landscape differently. We need to learn how to act together, a case of global swarming, if we are to weather the environmental storm that is brewing.”
