A cinematic poem 1:06

Mothers Country was developed as part of Arts House’s program Time Place Space:NOMAD in Wotjobaluk Country of the Wergeia Language Group in December 2016.

Mothers Country 2016 is a Cinematic Poem from Sarah Jane Pell on Vimeo.

I hear passed the wind,

To the voice of my mother, her mother, and her mother...

I see her hair a lions mane

sunkissed

In the dry, golden grasses, pushed and pulled

swirling

I hear the leaves chatting to the boughs

And the shining water

glistening

In tango with the sun rays and cloud

hops

The flocking black swans and water fowl

Interrupting

The landscape with precise, geometric form

Haybales stacked three high

Obsevant fields and a violet mountain

Aparapiles

Big sky, she roars.

My mothers roar comes from here.
