During a 12-month residency based at the Koorie Heritage Trust, Clancy collaborated with Dja Dja Wurrung Traditional Owners to research, develop and create an exhibition that explores the frontier violence and massacre sites that occurred on Dja Dja Wurrung Country.
Using cutting and layering techniques, Clancy’s work references the emotional and cultural scars left in the landscape by this frontier violence. Using techniques that include “scarring” of the photographs, Clancy depicts the layers of time, history,
memory and place, uncovering the layers of colonisation and the continuing emotional and cultural effect of these massacres on
the land and the community.
