Tony Albert, one of Australia's most acclaimed contemporary artists, has teamed up with WAH-WAH to celebrate all that is alien.
Tony has spent his career blithely ignoring attempts to define or limit 'Aboriginal art'. He has worked in an impressive array of mediums: drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, and installation. Now, with this exciting new collaboration, he has added knitwear to the list! But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what Tony himself has to say:
At what point does first contact exist? Woven into a cosmological web of (mis)understanding, this multifaceted thematic and portrayal of alien encounters is reconfigured over and over in my work. In many respects for me, we are all aliens. Metaphorically this becomes interchangeable between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous, representing a complex layer of (in)visibility.
I want to beLIEve.
