'Sekala: ritual and ceremony in Bali'' was the title of my solo exhibition at the PhotoAccess Huw Davies Gallery, Manuka ACT, from 23 February to 11 March 2012. The 33 images were selected from the 15,000 that I took during 2009-10 when Karen and I worked on a volunteer assignment with a textile arts foundation based in Ubud, Bali. During that time we travelled a great deal, and were privileged to encounter a range of people, places, performances and ceremonies, many of which were well off the standard tourist trail. The exhibition sought to reveal some of the ceremonial and ritual practices that we found most compelling. I hope that it goes some way to explaining our fascination with this extraordinary place and its people – a living and vibrant culture surviving in the face of great social, environmental and economic change. |
