MATTHEW SLEETH
Melbourne Cricket Ground, 1998
In this exhibition of photographs from Matthew Sleeth’s first book, Roaring Days (M.33, Melbourne, 1998), Sleeth continues to pursue the themes that have long preoccupied him – comradeship, masculinity, romance and alienation. Similarly he continues his intoxication with the expressive qualities of light and shadow.
The title is taken from a poem by Australia’s best know poet, Henry Lawson, who wrote early last century about a romantic ideal of Australian identity.
