About the Artwork

This work from Croft’s new body of work after/image considers how natural and built environments hold memory/ies. Croft looks deeply into sites that connect directly to her family’s matrilineal history to tell a story of connection and distance, memory and loss over time. Croft’s work looks at her family’s early settler-colonial connections to the northeast corner of Weereewa/Lake George, an endorheic lake that rises and falls enigmatically over time. This deeply evocative place has been a site of intra-cultural contact between First Nations Peoples for thousands of years, and colonial impact, fantasies and reflection for almost two centuries.
