Abstract
The thesis and artefacts posit rapture as a significant response to Aboriginal art. Rapture as a response is both haptic and visceral, it is based on the direct perception of visual languages in Aboriginal art that are derived from and return to the natural world and are therefore potentially both familiar and meaningful to all human beings. Aboriginal art does not represent an 'other' culture to be consumed and assimilated but 'another' culture that contains messages about human connection to the world as a necessary and primary basis to culture. There are lessons to be learnt from this ecological imperative, which are particularly relevant today.
