6 February - 6 March

Inspired by an Arabic message found in a clear plastic tube wishing an Indonesian fisherman a safe passage on the seas, WA artist Williams has combed Greta Beach on Christmas Island and amassed the plastic flotsam and jetsam washed up from the Indian Ocean. From this detrius, Williams applies her considerable skills to create intricate miniature worlds which invite the viewer to engage with the lives and histories of the Malay and Chinese people who live on this remote island, as well as the refugees who pass by.

 

Hours Mon to Fri 10-4.4.5 and Sat 12-4.45

Free Artist talks at 2pm: Sat 13 Feb and Sat 6 March RSVP requested

The project has been supported by Department of Culture and the Arts, WA and the Australian Council.
