John South – Possum-Skin Cloak

A video installation by Aboriginal artist John South.

Winter Exhibition Suite 2018

John South

I transition between shadow –

dawn yet awake

wrapped night’s journey

Awake, hypnotic bellbird –

within possum skin

sunlight betwixt shadow

Misty awakening –

falling and weaving serpentine river

landing becomes dew
