Rothwell’s Half-Empty Glass
Is death the cruel twist at the end of life? Or the redemptive final act that glorifies us in its transcendence, seizing immortality from the jaws of extinction? At least since the waning of the Middle Ages, and most certainly … Continue reading
Interior Monologues
I first encountered Nicolas Rothwell at Yirrkala in 2005. Not in person; that didn’t happen until almost two years later, in Darwin, at Raft Artspace. Rather, the encounter came while I was visiting the Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Centre just days after … Continue reading
