About this work
This installation by Narelle Jubelin includes found objects, hand-stitched petit point embroideries and four Egyptian earthenware pots from the NGV’s antiquities collection. Together, this seemingly disparate group suggests a complex web of possible narratives related to global and national histories. Jubelin’s materials are deliberately dislocated from their points of origin in a way that encourages alternative views of the histories of modernism, colonisation, trade and tourism. The work prompts a consideration of the often unexpected journeys that images and objects make throughout time and space.
