We invite you to take a walk down a dilapidated path, hike through the mountains and float down a river formiles on end, whilst you slip between your known reality and another world; a tribal world of isolation and rural purity. We invite you to
The Antarctic Kingdom of Gondwanaland.
It’s the home of a tribe you will find nowhere else. This small community have the earth at their roots, as their carved faces and wooden trunks ground, and mesmerise any human life they come into contact with.
In your reality they’re at Gallery 3, Craft Victoria, 31 Flinders Lane. In their reality they’re in Wanda Gillespie’s The Museum of Lost Worlds. They will be migrating on 26 November, so best make your acquaintance earlier rather than later.

These figures are quite haunting.... patterned with age and wisdom! I love how you have described them and their world!
