Abstract
Garry’s work in Pallingjang Saltwater 2009 is a playful exploration of notions of (dis)connections to place - physically and culturally, in both time and space. Referencing the work of the late 19th Century South Coast Aboriginal artist Mickey of Ulladulla, the question is posed: in the face of historic and ongoing social and cultural dispossession and displacement, how do we legitimately forge new and authentic forms of cultural connectedness in Country we know not to be ours by rite?*
