Imagined Place, 2016
Collograph/relief
Collection of the C.N. Gorman Museum, UC Davis. Gift of the artist.
“My imagined place is my home, Norfolk Island, in a state of freedom and self-determination. In 2015, the Commonwealth of Australia stripped Norfolk Island of its Legislative Assembly and self-government against the democratically-expressed wishes of its people.
Our people are currently fighting hard with non-violent protest and appealing to the United Nations with many other political supporters against this big bully. I am hopeful that the directions we are taking will lead to my imagined place becoming a reality, and that our rights to govern ourselves and our homes are restored.” – Sue Pearson
