Wall Drawings : Artist talks with MPRG Director Danny Lacy

Kerrie Poliness's Wall drawings #57 and #58 (pictured right) are multi-coloured linear patterns made within white chalk circles and drawn onto yellow painted walls by applying signwriter’s film cut into tapes for drawing lines. They are instruction-based artworks, which means they can be made by anyone, anywhere, following the step-by-step guidelines in each designs pattern book.

Lisa Waup's Our Way (pictured right) is an ongoing series of work that spans various media to explore the power and peril of the directional sign and its ability to control, repress and disorientate First Nations people on their own land. By altering the text and changing the symbology of existing signage – such as stop, give way, and sharp deviation signs – these works talk of being controlled, corralled and shut out.⁠

Jahnne Pasco-White’s newly commissioned wall work, Composty Archive explores layers of revealed and concealed mark-making through a continuous process of addition, subtraction and reworking. Archived and composted from her surroundings over the duration of 6 months, Jahnne pasted collaged fabrics (hand-dyed from natural matter including avocado stones, passion fruit skins and eucalyptus bark) directly onto the wall, complimented with gestural drawings by pen, pastel, cement oxide and earth pigments.⁠
