Essays on Earth: Brodie Ellis, Paul Kane & John Wolseley

Castlemaine State Festival presents

Essays on Earth:
Brodie Ellis, Paul Kane & John Wolseley

THE GOODS SHED plays host to this multichannel video installation, which slowly unravels around the internal walls like a Japanese scroll.

Essays on Earth is built around Paul Kane’s sonorous reading of his epic poem on the themes of earth, water, fire and air. The unfolding images use macro photography of paintings by John Wolseley filled with pond life, birds, carbon traces and geological rubbings.

This is the perfect match for the experimental microscopy of Brodie Ellis, whose work investigates the ethics of how our limited natural resources are being used.
