Artist Brian Martin’s art installation of large-scale charcoal drawings, Culturally Modified Thulu (trees), reimagines the landscape at the pavilion.

Bundjalng, Kamilaroi and Muruwarri artist, Brian Martin, creates large-scale drawings of significant marked trees and presentations of Country. At MPavilion, you are invited to get up close and personal with these images. This simple gesture is a powerful act, highlighting how Indigenous knowledges are interconnected with memory, practice and place.

Brian Martin is a Bundjalng, Kamilaroi and Muruwarri artist. His monumental charcoal drawings articulate places that are deeply significant to him. The drawings are often composed from a grid of smaller sections that have been brought together. Each panel draws on inspiration from black and white photographs taken on Country. Every mark made on the paper presents the experience and texture of being connected to place, articulating the importance of mark making from Country.
