This bridge is really about heritage. It refers to the procession of significant things, such as language, handed down from the past to the present.
The subject of this picture is an ancient geological structure which spans Burra Creek, Ngunnawal Country, that has been named London Bridge. Another venerable, naturally occurring topographical formation, exists at Lake Mungo. Also in New South Wales, that one has been named Walls of China.
Using the modernist vocabulary of Post-painterly abstraction, this and related work The Other London Bridge, explore cultural implications of cut and paste methodology to visualize the landscape as homeland.
