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.  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.

A PROJECT PUBLICATION WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE AT THE OPENINGS.

The development of the work, the project publication and the exhibitions have been supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW, Orana Arts, Dubbo Regional Council through the Western Plains Cultural Centre, the Trangie Local Aboriginal Land Council and Wungunja Cultural Centre, THRIV3, and the Maynard family of ‘Willydah’, Narromine NSW.

This work was created and developed on Wongaibon and Wiradjuri Country in consultation and collaboration with Elders and traditional custodians of the land.
