Notes: "Terra Australis is an artist's book made of holes, stones and water, soil and air, traversed by time and pervaded by melancholy. Every page opens on the edge of a measured visual abyss where the invitation to venture through deep and impenetrable matter is both dangerous and real. Beyond the cold geography and frigid geometry it evokes, Terra Australis is an art work for geographers of inwardness. It is a work apparently engaged with on the surface - but it is an art work pervaded by a silent darkness in which something endless is hidden, or escapes the eyes" --Cover.
