Burnt Dawn was written in 2002 for the Winter Solstice celebrations, as part of a collaborative installation Darklight with artist Sieglinde Karl.
The installation was exhibited at the Design Centre in Launceston, Tasmania.
The artwork was made of peat seeds, sand and crushed abalone shells, and was installed on the floor.
In addition, sections of the text were displayed on the walls in vinyl lettering attached to translucent, opalesque, clear cloth.
The colours used in the text published here are different from those in the installation. |
