UNSEEN. 2-31 July 2021 at Deakin University Geelong Waterfront (Alfred Deakin Prime Ministerial Library Gallery). Epilogue of the exhibition was held as a pop-up installation & projections of the Island films on 2 October 2021, at the Carousel, supported by the City of Greater Geelong through the Community Events Grant Program.
The project Creative Occupation uncovered the small and little-known Island of South Channel Fort in 2018, and this connection has formed experiences and ideas through to 2021. This concluding exhibition used a relation between ‘not seeing’ and exploring new senses for revelation. Island is a place and a metaphor. It is the entity to which experiences, reflections and poetic musings are related.
