Abstract

Julie Gough's canoe is constructed with blankets, plastic, wire, wool and shells, and references the French artists Lesueur and Petit's 1807 image Terre de Diemen, navigation, vue de la côte orientale de l'Ile Schouten in journals kept during Baudin's early voyages around Australia. The shells have been collected from beaches in Tasmania, her homeplace. Raised slightly off the floor on tea tree sticks, the work appears to float between worlds. The artist sees the canoe in relation to journeys beyond the material world and has made the work 'to honour the proximity of life, culture, memory, particular places in Tasmania and the past in my present'.

This piece was included in the 'In the World: head, hand, heart - 17th Tamworth Fibre Textile Biennial', curated by Vivonne Thwaites.
