Where Stone Meets Sky

The installation Where Stone Meets Sky concept was developed by two local Castlemaine artists, Alvin Darcy (Yorta Yorta and Taungurung, Ngarigo and Walbunja) and Brodie Ellis working in parallel. This project involved creating two independent installations to be exhibited in dialogue while researching the Leanganook/Mt Alexander mountain site on Djaara Country in Central Victoria. The parallel practice approach acknowledges the urgency of environmental concerns and the need to work together toward ecosystem care and interspecies adaptation. This exhibition positions itself at the intersection of decolonial practice, environmental advocacy, and contemporary art, working toward more sustainable and equitable approaches to artistic engagement with Country.

The artists would like to thank Maxine Briggs, Uncle Rick Nelson, Djaara Corporation, Creative Victoria and Monash University for their support during the development of this project.
