Marjetica Potr\u010d\u2019s practice brings together several distinct but interconnected concerns, including how resources such as water and soil are valued and understood by different communities, how the built environment can be reimagined in ways that are broadly beneficial, and how economic systems can be transformed into more equitable structures. Potr\u010d\u2019s practice, realized in images, sculptures and architectural structures, are models for ongoing resolution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is apparent in The House of Agreement Between Humans and the Earth<\/em>, on view in the exhibition. The structure visualizes coexistence and codependence between the world of humans and the earth that supports it. The drawings The Time on the Lachlan River<\/em> and The Life of the Lachlan River<\/em> depict this process in motion. Created in dialogue with Uncle Ray Woods, an elder of the Wiradjuri First Nation, they narrate the challenges faced by this community along the Lachlan River in Australia. This river, like many others, is threatened by environmental change, and plans for it to be dammed that would lessen its flow and harm it. The figures in the drawings call for a more egalitarian relationship between humans and nature\u2014something that has partly occurred with the recent revocation of planning permission to dam the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
