Profit & Loss

Dee Gill

'Profit & Loss', 2006.

Water colour, graphite on paper, labels, string.

"The quickening signs of the travels of the prickly pear, the ubiquity of the English starling, the threatening disappearance of the Chestnut Quail Thrush, the Mossgiel Daisy and the Little Pied Bat belie the unqualified faith in the notion of 'Improvement' that accompanied the arrival here of the European.

In this drawing I attempt to reconcile the books in relation to this fragile landscape and going by these calculations the outlook doesn’t appear to look all that good."

- Dee Gill

A long rectangle piece of paper in a dusty red brown colour, with brown labels attached to the surface at different points. There are some very faint drawings over the surface of the paper.

A large rectangle mirror stands on a wooden frame in the middle of a sandy scrubby landscape. It has a square cut out of the middle so you can see through to the view. In the mirrors reflection you can see someone taking a photograph, their car positioned behind them.
