For Places, D Harding has worked with members of Dyiraamalang Girbang, Wiradjuri Elders and leaders of the Bungambrawatha / Albury community, to produce paintings embedded with the soil of important locations on Country. Four paintings, each with soil that identifies a site in our region, will sit alongside three similar works that have been made with commercial pigments and brought to this place. Together the works speak to various degrees of connection to and knowledge of locality and Country.
Places is presented as part of nginha, an artistic program celebrating the first decade of MAMA in three seasons.
