Photogrammetry Scan: Gerdewoon

I scanned a piece from the Museum of Nothern Territory's NATSIAA 2022 collection to create a real-time model. This piece was difficult due to its highly reflective nature. A cross-polarised setup was used to capture two passes. One polarized and the other linear polarised. Subtracting the two sets provided the reflective values during the roughness of other maps. This piece is slip-cast porcelain and measures 21 x 10 x 10 cm.

Gerdewoon 2022 slip-cast porcelain edition 1 of 100 21 x 10 x 10 cm

Peggy Griffiths-Madij’s practice of more than 35 years responds to her environment and her place within its subtle transitions and spiritual relationships. Her elegant porcelain object revisits a Kimberley tradition of boab nut engraving and is reminiscent of the beginnings of her own practice. Embellished with abstract motifs representing the spinifex plains of her Country, this work acknowledges that while mediums and techniques change, the value and richness of cultural knowledge remain.
