‘Lisa’s fascination with maps led her to the State Library’s map collection, which is rich with information, enticing us with glimpses into the layers of Sydney’s history and ongoing construction. Delving into the collection, Lisa explored some of the early maps of the colony, civic maps of Sydney suburbs, along with transport routes that were built, extended, then made o...bsolete. The maps themselves are remnants from previous generations; traces of the past, kept for posterity so that each new generation can interrogate and develop new understandings of our city and its history.
Walking through cities and suburbs, Lisa has observed and documented cracks in the surfaces. These are spindly, jagged lines which have opened the concrete, suggesting the hidden layers of our place, our city. Vestigial remains of the past hide just below the surface. The past is still with us; our history is close enough to touch.’
Excerpt from the exhibition essay by Elise Edmonds, Senior Curator, The State Library of New South Wales. Full essay on our website.

'MAGICAL MYSTERY is a response to two of my favourite Australian movies, Jedda (1955) and Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975). The series of paintings, created over a period of one and a half years, reflects the influence that both of these trail-blazing movies have had on my understanding of Australia…..I first saw Jedda a few years ago on NITV, and I was mesmerised by the bea...uty of the Indigenous lead characters, their sizzling on-screen chemistry and their dramatic and haunting story. Written and directed by Elsa and Charles Chauvel, Jedda was the first ever Australian feature film in colour, showcasing for the first time Indigenous lead characters played by Ngarla Kunoth (now known as Rosalie Kunoth-Monks) and Robert Tudawali, who shine bright as world class movie stars with their beauty, natural grace and powerful performances.’ Nana Ohnesorge
