<p><b>“Revelation 6”</b>
<br>
<p>Artists’ Statement:
<p>"MAKE MISTAKES.WHO PAYS?" quote from an elder of the Jawoyn Tribe
<p>Revelation 6 refers to the sixth chapter in the penultimate section
of the New Testament. This deals with the apocalypse or revealing or unveiling
of the four horsemen that brought with them Greed/ Famine, Plague/Pestilence,
War and Death
<p>We have heard the galloping hooves of the four horses throughout centuries
of history. We hear them today. The Apocalypse and Armageddon, the end
of mankind in the last great battle between ‘the kings of the earth' (St.
John) have been the subject of artworks throughout history. In this aspect
my work has an art historical context.
<p>The Northern Territory is the site of a World Heritage site, the Kakadu
National park - also the site of billions of dollars worth of uranium.
Uranium brings with it the screams of the horses carrying evil and suffering.
<p>My installation,"Revelation 6" deals with issues of apocalypse and uranium
mining.
