Description

Made in Australia II (2018) was produced by Brenda L. Croft to honour her mother Dorothy Jean Croft (1938–2010), a non-Indigenous woman who broke from suburban convention in Sydney and found love with a Gurindji/Malngin/Mudburra man, Joseph Croft, who she married and raised a family with, living in numerous regions of Australia, including Canberra.

Croft celebrates her mother’s story by scaling up her original 1950s-60s vividly coloured 35mm Cibachrome slides to giant size photographic prints that speak to the strength and potency of her parent’s relationship which played out quietly in this heart of the nation.
