'An aphorism, properly stamped and molded, has not been "deciphered" when it has simply been read; rather one has then to begin its interpretation, for which is required an art of interpretation.' -- Nietzsche, 'On the Genealogy of Morals'

Heartland: Kate Breakey « Previous | |Next »
August 1, 2013

This is one of Kate Breakey's images that features in the Art Gallery of South Australia's Heartland: Contemporary Art from South Australia exhibition:

Heartland conjures up ideas of Australian outback landscapes and the way that Australia's cultural identity has been constructed by the traditional concepts of landscape. Kate Breakey, like Ian North, is presenting photographs that were taken up to 30 years ago.

The focus of this work is on Kangaroo Island, Meningie and further afield in South Australia: places with natural-seeming scenery that nonetheless bear the trace of human interference. She appears to photographing ephemeral moments in the landscape created by the light.

They are constructed from black, white and gray tones and Breakey applies just a touch of color by hand: a tiny bit of blue in that ocean, a trace of yellow in the Irish sky, just enough to make her mark as a painter.
