Passage

2011 · Three works

Photographed in 2011, when Blair was commissioned to document a NAIDOC event in Parramatta.

Passage is a small body of work about presence: moments of listening, movement and gathering that she was privileged to be invited to witness. The photographs are offered as a record of what was seen that day, not as an account of its meaning.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are advised that this series contains images of people who may have died.

Some things have always had the power to bring us closer.
