Tracey Moffatt

Tracey Moffatt, as perhaps already mentioned, is the other Indigenous artist that I'm using in my comparative essay. I've been finding out a lot about her, and her work, and although I had already heard about her before starting this essay, I had never really read much more into her and her work until starting this essay.
I borrowed out a DVD on Moffatt called "Up In the Sky", which was about her and her work, and I found the way she spoke about her work really interesting, and although you're able to tell it's quite an old documentary about her, I thought that it really showed off her personally.
I think one think I liked most was at one point she was describing to a few people how she had wanted them to feel when viewing her work, and she explained that it was almost like a state of boredem, that great ideas came from boredem and that was where one of her films, "Heaven", came from as she was bored one day while working and started filming some guys across the road that were out side getting changed after surfing, and Moffatt thought that she would never use it again or not for a piece of work at least.
