Canberra artist Alex Asch continues to explore constructed landscapes primarily through the use of recycled metal and form ply. This exhibition was inspired by a recent road trip to Broken Hill (Wilyakali), Cobar (Wongaibon), and Silverton (Wiljaali)) where industrial ruins and metal tailings dominate the outskirts of the urban landscape.

Alex says, “There is a strange transition from the randomly formed landscape of human toil into the ancient geology that dominates the interior of Australia; a seemingly inexhaustible space that hides its fragility in its enormity.”
