An exhibition of collage constructions telling the story of a boy discovering that the desert he feared is actually a place of endless wonders.
Explore Jeannie Baker’s spectacular and astonishing collages capturing the deep beauty, mystery, and hidden vitality of the desert landscape – and why it needs our protection.
The exhibition also celebrates the publishing of Baker’s latest book, titled Desert Jungle. Baker’s vibrant and visually distinct collage works explore the complex biodiversity of the Sonoran Desert. Over one-third of the Australian landscape is classified as desert, and yet for most settler Australians, the desert remains a barren space. In this new story, Baker explores the Valley of the Cirios in Mexico, through the perspective of a young child and his grandfather.
