A series of 17 portraits with a central silhouette surrounded by effigies pay homage and illuminate the personal histories of Chinese Australians who lived under the The White Australia Policy (1901-1973). Artist Pamela See combines the European tradition of portraiture with paper cutting in keeping with the Forshan style of her grandparent’s birthplace, the Guandong Provence. Originally used to communicate across language boundaries, today’s contemporary application relays forgotten or ignored stories; ‘It is all about dialogue, so it’s considered a repository,’ says the artist.
