research task due Tue Tut

Tracey Moffat
This work of art showing a picture of an aboriginal created by an aboriginal artist Tracey Moffat in 1986. It is a gelatin silver photograph.This photo is one of the pieces of art exhibited held at the Aboriginal Artist Gallery. According to Tracey, she is just trying to be different from the normal, presenting the everyday image of aboriginals from different perspective and displayed it up on a wall so that people could see them. She had sold about nine indigenous photographs and she thought this aboriginal Maria is natural beauty without any makeup.Tracey loves to observe the aboriginals and break away the normal to put up a new different aspect of them to others.



Gascoigne,Rosalie
This work of art is called step through made by Gascoigne Rosalie. It is a sculpture made by linoleum and wood. In Step through, there are many fragments with the floral linoleum on the skin and those are mounted on wooden blocks in different height so that people could step across the narrow space among those fragments. His intention to make this work is to make viewers think back of the floors of Australian kitchens of 1950's. It is reported that Rosalie Gascoigne's inspiration comes from spare countryside of the southern tablelands and the Monera district, a unique natural environment that lies relatively close to Canberra. She had extraordinary capability to capture and convey the essence of nature and the usage of light effects,air and space through her skills in breaking away from the common and her intrinsic response to the material and the chose of landscape.
