Quiet, forceful, and reflective, Archie Moore is the consummate artist’s artist for whom the work speaks for itself. His intensive, research-based presentations are full of gravitas, marked by the heavy weight of history, and an uncompromising reckoning with a past that echoes with great sorrow. Throughout a career incorporating sculpture, installation, painting, drawing, photography, and video, the artist of Kamilaroi Bigambul heritage has problematized the contested histories of Australia. Time and again, he has crawled into the dark recesses of the country’s origins to dredge up particular anxieties as a way of unburdening himself and his people of the psychological warfare promulgated by brute state power. Gravitating toward collective and individual memory, this has meant the subjugation and erasure of Indigenous land, culture, and peoples by the early European colonizers and “the idea of transgenerational inheritance of trauma.”
