Looking Glass: Auslan Interpreted Tour
Join QUT Galleries and Museums Engagement Officer, Renae Belton on a tour of Looking Glass: Judy Watson and Yhonnie Scarce at QUT Art Museum.
An accredited Auslan interpreter will accompany this tour for our Deaf community.
Looking Glass brings together two of Australia’s most acclaimed contemporary artists—Waanyi artist, Judy Watson and Kokatha and Nukunu artist, Yhonnie Scarce. At its heart, the exhibition is both a love song and a lament for Country; a fantastical alchemy of the elemental forces of earth, water, fire and air. Watson’s ochres, charcoal and pigments, pooled and washed upon flayed canvases, have a natural affinity and synergy with Scarce’s fusion of fire, earth and air. Watson and Scarce express the inseparable oneness of Aboriginal people with Country, a familial relationship established for millennia.
Looking Glass is developed by TarraWarra Museum of Art and Ikon Gallery with Curator Hetti Perkins. Touring nationally with NETS Victoria.
