A still image from Tom Arthur

Episode number 10 of Series “Survey (National Gallery of Victoria)”.

By using the associated symbolic meanings and cultural connotations attached to specific objects and images he attempts to examine and question belief structures and systems of knowledge and how society forces these into its members. For Tom Arthur there are no absolutes, and everything seems relative
