Lunette Lights, 2016
Lunette
Lights, (2016), is a series of five photographic images that acknowledge
the substance and profile of the landforms along Main Street Beeac. The
lunettes, or ancient sandunes, are understood to have formed over the millennia
as grit from the lake, driven by winds from the south west, built up in the
north east a short distance from the lake perimeter. To the contemporary eye
looking from the west, the lunettes present as a simple graceful horizon line
waving about ten to fifteen metres above the general land level. Approaching
from the east they present as very buxom landforms, apposite given the
matriarchy of their Gulidjan custodians.
The photographs document an
installation of December 2016 - January 2017:
strings of small solar-powered lights sought to draw attention to the
lunette profile. Entry to the Stinchcombe property and assistance is gratefully
acknowledged, as is the photographic collaboration of Tim Lucas.
