Songs of Sowing & Reaping is the culmination of two years of on-site, creative acoustic-ecological fieldwork on the Maynard family farm in the Narromine Shire, and with those who keep and nurture traditional culture in the Trangie community, on Wongaibon Country.  Multi-disciplinary artist, Kim V. Goldsmith slips beneath the vibrating surfaces of the region’s familiar landscapes of the Western Plains, searching for the sonic pulse of life within – as it is now and may be for our future kin.

The works in Songs of Sowing & Reaping hold the movement and sonic memories of the day they were captured, along with the ecological echo of the plains. Entangled in co-dependency, humans and more-than-humans have collaborated on many of the works in this exhibition. Photographer Sally Pittman has also worked with Goldsmith to create a series of portraits of those in the community passing on knowledge of these places to the next generation. You can also hear their voices and messages of hope for the future.
