The Long Poem Painting Ronald Berndt and the men

Ronald Berndt and the men who made these drawings captured an extraordinary record of the Country

It also conveys something about the challenge of making a painting that the artist is happy to commit to: because the view is impregnated in the painted surface

and backgrounds shaped by incarceration

The book Speech Patterns accompanies an exhibition featuring the works of Nadia Hernández and Jon Campbell

as well as notes and drawings from DAMP’s archive
