The Crack is Where the Light gets in (2021)
In reference to the lyrics of Leonard Cohen and Rumi's poetry, 'the wound is where the light enters,' this ephemeral installation seeks hope where there has been suffering and destruction. This site specific work responds to the impact of colonisation on the Australian bushland, particularly in Warburton where much of the natural eucalyptus was cleared in the 1930s and replaced with the uniformity of European tree plantations. The stark white of the raw clay sits ghostly amongst the natural browns and greens. The eucalyptus matter repels the clay, cracking and falling away. Where there is a crack, there is opportunity for repentance and resurrection.
