Stories
to Tell: Bardipwarrang An
Mezzanine Level, Hackett Hall
January 6 - April 20, 2003. Free entry.
Stories to Tell: Bardipwarrang An catches the eye and the imagination.
Sliding nuns and magical lolly trees, stooking hay and eating
jelly and custard in the back of an old T-Ford – these are
some of the engaging stories told by noongar artist Laurel Nannup
through woodcuts and etchings. Captivating, bright and often humorous,
each artwork has an accompanying tale drawn from the artist’s
childhood in the bush, on Pinjarra Reserve and in Wandering Mission.
The layers of story resonate, allowing you to experience some
of the wonder and joy, as well as the sorrows, of a uniquely Western
Australian childhood. An exhibition for the whole family.
