The Hard Light of Day: An Artist's Story of Friend by Rod Moss
ISBN: 9780702237744 PUBLISHER: University of Queensland Press FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 312 PUBLICATION DATE: 3.05.2010 DIMENSIONS: 230mmX152mm
DESCRIPTION: Two years after artist Rod Moss arrived in Alice Springs to teach painting, he met a married couple who had set up camp in the gully beside his flat. Over the next 25 years, his friendship with Xavier and Petrina Neil and the friendships that grew from it with the families of Whitegate, an Arrernte camp on the outskirts of town, would nourish and challenge Moss beyond his imagining. The Hard Light of Day offers a rare insight into the reality of life in the Centre, from the contours of the MacDonnell Ranges and the textures and sounds of Arrernte culture, to the endemic violence, alcoholism and ill-health that continue to devastate Aboriginal lives. In recalling the relationships and experiences that have shaped his life and work in Alice Springs, Moss unsentimentally reveals the human face behind the statistics and celebrates the enriching, transformative power of friendship. Illustrated with Moss's evocative paintings and photographs, this is an incredible journey into a world never shown in the mainstream media, and an artist's chronicle of the moments that have inspired him.
