National Library of Australia – Sketches & Projection Photographs
Referencing the library’s collection of Australian board games in juxtaposition with historical artefacts to explore Australia’s history.
The Federation Game
The Federation Game was published for Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia by the Australian Government Publishing Service (1987) and is an interesting use of the snakes and ladders theme. I have used these references in re-sketching the board and aligning these references on the building
Race to the Gold Diggings of Australia Game
Game based on the Voyage to the Gold Diggings of Australia based on travelling the seas. I have playfully juxtaposed objects, altered visual perspective, rearranged numbers and direction of timelines to create a larger than life surreal viewpoint.
