VICKI HERSEY & LOUISE KERR SOLASTALGIA Children of the Fires 29 October – 22 November We are children of the 1968 Blue Mountains fires. Our current practice of work for this exhibition has been informed by the memories of long ago that have been triggered by the catastrophic Summer of 2019. We have felt despair, distress, sadness and powerlessness in the wake of such an unequaled and traumatic Summer. We feel the need to share our considerable concerns about climate change with others. We would like to share a quote from Wendell Berry’s The Four Legged House, written in 1969 as Berry precisely expresses our desire for a different way of living. “We have lived our lives by the assumption that what was good for us would be good for the world. We have been wrong. We must change our lives so that it will be possible to live by the contrary assumption, what is good for the world will be good for us. And that requires that we make the effort to know the world and learn what is good for it.”
