The artist, Elizabeth Day has created concurrent exhibitions, one in Liverpool United Kingdom, near to where the artist was born, and here, in Liverpool Australia.
Using a process akin to printing, the artist literally casts text out of grass roots. Day uses about 20 grass seed varieties - weaving various organic textures into
the text. The text was created by four migrant writers - commissioned by Day to incorporate messages from today’s migrants to tell the story of translation as
part of this large floor installation.
As a migrant, Day also asks the question of how do we connect to the ancient history of this country.
Exhibition on display until Sunday 28 November 2010 - Switch Gallery
Exhibition official launch on Saturday 23 October 2010
Elizabeth Day will present a floor talk as part of The Garden Day on Saturday 27 November 2010
