Quotient Set’ is a set of photographs of four collages constructed from the folding of 19th century maps of the immediate area surrounding the Library. These maps represent a contested time in our colonial past when Indigenous land was parcelled off and sold and often refer to the traditional owners, the Wurundjeri People of the Eastern Kulin Nation. Contemporary maps of the Carlton North neighbourhood no longer acknowledge this Indigenous heritage demonstrating how maps change and can also have multiple applications, interpretations or meanings over time. As a non-Indigenous Australian, Eckersley is interested in what happens when these maps are folded, cut into and placed into new configurations. By folding these maps and turning them into collages Eckersley is attempting to create new representations of the Carlton North neighbourhood that reflect this uneasy relationship with the past. This practice of revisiting old maps and making them anew is a way to reflect on our colonial history and questions whose Country these maps now represent.
