Ghost Dance Painting

Ghost Dance refers to a revitalisation movement in which Native Americans called forth on the power of their dead to repel the flow of colonial dominance. The birds depicted are two Albatrosses, dancing. This is made up of two halves, the left is a reflection, a mirror image that is a reproduction, a mechanical print on paper without any life. the right is a painting on old concrete form board, that contains waste paint, spray paint, set alight then stabilised with a layer of resin the two albatross sit atop it transforming it into a landscape of potential. I’m not without hope for the environment, but I do have concerns, fears, about the legacy of imperialism, colonialism and exploitative practices, that hang like an albatross around our collective neck.
