Sangeera Sandrasegar: This was the first artwork completed under my current studio practice and research praxis into legacies of colour manufacture through a post-colonial lens. It is grounded by two colours. Indian indigo (Indigofera tinctoria) burdens the beauty of the hue with the weight of slave labour and disenfranchisement — it was on behalf of Bihari indigo workers that Mahatma Gandhi first engaged in political action. Australian native cherry (Exocarpos cuppressiformis), known in Woiwurrung as bali, was documented by the earliest European colonisers who noted Aboriginal people used the tree for its sweet fruit and wood. The two colours combine to make varying hues of green, and as such begin to echo ways of seeing and expand upon concepts of what is seen and unseen. Between the transparency of the silk and weft of the khadi the colours shift and so too do the spaces in which they hang — creating a transient space where boundaries are intertwined. What Falls from View is the starting point of what I consider a long exploration into the science, technologies and stories that reside within the Australian post-colonial palette.
