'as the forest breathes out, we breathe in ...
created by relating to a community and expressing what makes it feel indigenous with the land, my art is not an
object, it forms part of a community and site specific ritual ...'

Since 1991 in Australia and Europe, Ali has produced site specific works using mostly natural materials, involving the community and culminating in a
ceremonial burning.
The rituals she creates are specific to the relationship between the community, its history and use of place and provide a way for the community to
symbolize its future.
Ali's art explores the relationship between the community and the land it occupies in a way which does not abuse nature to accentuate
the mystic bonds of people with the land.
