SHOWCASING a variety of landscape prints, the Bendigo Art Gallery are currently exhibiting artist Peta Clancy\u2019s show Undercurrent<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Exploring a significant massacre site on Dja Dja Wurrung country, the exhibit features four large scale photographic prints, expansive wallpaper piece and an immersive soundscape recorded underwater at the place.<\/p>\n

As a descendent of the Bangerang Nation from the Murray Goulburn area of south-eastern Australia, Clancy said the project came was part of her residency with the Koorie Heritage Trust.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was looking at the Victorian Aboriginal Massacre Map hoping to explore sites through my work with traditional owners,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ended up working with the Dja Dja Wurrung people, Rodney Carter, Mick Burke and Amos Atkinson and I worked through the Dja Dja Wurrung Clan Aboriginal Organisation to get the permission to work on the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe site I ended up taking photographs at really resonated as it was covered by water which I found to be a really powerful metaphor for the general population\u2019s reluctance to speak about the massacres.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having spent over a year returning to the site to take a variety of photographs, Clancy said she started to overlay images of the landscape on top of itself to add some depth to her works.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would go back to the same site that the photograph was taken and hold up printed images of the same place in front of the landscape and rephotograph the photo which had been cut at the horizon line to overlay the two scenes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the work, I let the landscape speak to me, I thought it was powerful to just spend time at one site rather than traveling around.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I show the work, I\u2019m interested in audiences looking at the images and seeing the country and the landscape and recognising that there\u2019s something not quite right about the image which will potentially prompt them to think a bit deeper about the history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Working closely with Dja Dja Wurrung artist and curator Natasha Carter, Clancy\u2019s exhibition at the Bendigo Gallery sits alongside a range of 19th century works that depict her ancestral land through a colonialist lens.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy works are shown in conversation with these colonialist works,\u201d Clancy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat was interesting was that Natasha was curating the works from a perspective of a Dja Dja Wurrung woman, so it was important that her voice came through.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has really been amazing to show it on Dja Dja Wurrung country, to bring it home and collaborate with Natasha and hopefully spark a deeper awareness of the history of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
