A short video documentary by Gabrielle Bates that considers the legacy of 4 historic Australian art groups. Bates visited and filmed sites occupied by each group, then applied video techniques that reflected aesthetics used by the groups. She interviewed historians and artists associated with the groups, including Margaret Olley, Martin Sharp, Albie Thoms, Gavin Wilson, Linda Slutzkin, Geoff Kleem and Michael Chahine. The audio recordings were then developed in-studio to create poetic narratives to accompany the video.
