Like pools of mercury with their shapes controlled by their own surface tension, the mirrored forms from Julia Davis' recent works capture the horizon in curvilinear ways.

An extension of her recent desert installations, the forms draw the viewer and the space of the gallery into the body of the work, becoming part of an integrated loop that seemingly has no beginning and end. Reflection moves through the skin of the glass, evoking a sense of continuum and flow as with cells in the blood stream and breath in the lungs.

Immersion and sensation of place is what this work is about. Eyes are organs that connect touching with thinking and the body and its relationship to place can no longer be viewed as passive or ahistorical.

Sliding back and forth between immersion and stepping outside ourselves to see ourselves seeing, the primacy of the viewer's physical engagement, as well as the psychological and political interplay is experienced in the work. The perception of place is a kind of litmus test on reality where there can be many views.

The installation forms part of an ongoing narrative that explores the sensation of the Australian landscape and how it underpins our own sense of self and place.
