JOSHUA WEBB : 2008 recipient : samstag scholarship
The Anne & Gordon Samstag
International Visual Arts Scholarship • A new dawn 2006 - (digital animation - 2:20mins) original in DVD format • Stills from DVD original size 8.9mb Joshua Webb has drawn on his experience of working in industrial design to create a bricolage of imagery from available materials. A new dawn is an apocalyptic landscape, a desolate place where the rubbish stretches as far as the eye can see. A rising sun and portentous cloud only restore some sense of normalcy. Then, in the DVD version, above this same landscape hovers a distinctly unnatural and amorphous red shape. It moves, drapery floating as if shaped by a benevolent breeze, taking attention from the wreckage. • http://www.unisa.edu.au/samstag/ • http://www.unisa.edu.au/samstagmuseum
