This installation is based upon my experiences living and working with Aboriginal mob on remote communities in NT and WA in 2003-4. Themes of country, cars, humour, religion and colonialism are explored. I have interspersed watercolours with text made from metal lettering that I collected from abandoned cars in the Western Desert.
