Creating this piece has been a journey of anger, despair, resentment, acceptance and finally peace. When the first evacuation of Australian citizens stranded in Wuhan was announced to be coming to Howard Springs, there was an immediate response by certain sections of the local residents. Within an hour there was panic buying of face masks and expressions that these people were not Australian and not welcome. A Chinese face was looked upon with suspicion, an invitation for complete strangers to unload their ignorance and frustration. This artwork was created as a curtain, as curtains can be used to conceal and reveal a truth just as a window provides an insight to the world beyond. Two cranes dance in the sunset over a cyclone fence so typical of the Darwin suburbs. Are they Chinese Cranes or Australian Brolgas? It doesn’t matter, we live here too.
