Robin Riddle, Truth Spirit (LANDSCAPE & ENVIRONMENT 2024)

Kati Thanda South Land of the Arabana people. It's daybreak as the aircraft levels out at 1500ft, shapes and patterns appear as the light filters throughout the landscape. There is no horizon as you face towards the earth, so you try to fathom what you are seeing? Can this be real? What is mother saying? I ask Michael my pilot, lean the aircraft to my right dropping the wing whilst turning a wide 360 degree loop. As the light increases colours appear, some growing more intense whilst others grow softer. The images appears as spirits. These images speak of the past, of history written in the earth that can never be erased.
