Making The Empire Cross
|

Artists involved:
Priscilla Bracks
A long, long time ago, in a land far, far away …
The peace is shattered by a preacher, a hegemonic ruler, and an inappropriate use of nails. These ‘troubles’, which began in a remote outpost of the Empire, and grew to plague the entire planet, are documented by the chronicle - Making the Empire Cross.
In Unleashed! - the first episode for the new millennium - the peace of the New World has been shattered by the evil Jihad Joe who storms the Capital, destroying everything in his path. It seems clear that this dealer of death is merely a foot soldier in a war between two fundamentalist groups, each fighting for the supremacy of their own self-styled hegemony. But many questions remain.
Who is Public Enemy Number 1/? And who is this two-bit dictator wading into this battle that has now raged for two millennia? A babble of speculation filled the news-wire, opinions were offered, official statements released. But just when the truth seems within reach, a strange silence descends upon the people….
Priscilla Bracks is a visual artist practising in photography, digital illustration, and installation. Her practice explores the human condition and world we inhabit. She is especially interested in chaos, change, the patterns chaos creates, and the way these factors impact upon personal, social and national identities.
Priscilla is also a qualified solicitor, and has performed roles across art administration, advocacy, policy development and creative direction. Her work in these fields is informed by her practice, and motivated by the need to create more opportunities for artists to develop sustainable careers. She graduated from her Law degree in 1993, and from the Queensland College of Art with first class honours in 2002.
