Moon Havoc

by Rod Moss

Following successful exhibitions at Burrinja in 2014 and 2022, Moss returns with Moon Havoc, a suite of prints drawn from his recent series of graphite drawings.

The works accompany his latest book of the same title, continuing his powerful exploration of landscape, memory, and the ancient forces embedded within Country.

“Black and white suits its writhing grace. Sensuous realism is the means to convey its unsettling intensity. Tumult and compression align with struggling trees, are present in the addled earth and rocky terrain. The ancient base abides.”

Rod Ross

Rod Moss has lived and worked in Mparntwe/Alice Springs for over 40 years, in close association with the Traditional Owners, the Arrernte people. This deep, sustained connection to Country has shaped a practice grounded in observation, respect, and lived experience. Through word and image, Moss has devoted his art to capturing the feel of Country — its textures, moods, and enduring presence.

Exhibition Opening | Wed 18 Feb | 6pm-8pm
