In the front space, Harriet Parsons' stunning Homeland #1 proposes place as an amalgam of personal and cultural memory. Across 12 works, or "maps", Parsons uses a hybrid Polynesian/British mapping technique - practiced by Cook and others on the Endeavour following their voyage through the South Pacific - to plot her dreams in intricate arrangements of dried plant stalks, shells and string. But Parsons' works transcend that of the personal document. Indeed, by plotting her own inner moments via a trans-cultural, pre-colonial mapping system, she bypasses colonialism's broad white brush, instead casting the Australian landscape as a melange of innumerable individual identities and experiences. In this sense, Homeland #1 essentially attempts to eschew the belief systems informing the Western landscape tradition and its imposition of a European vision on Australia.
