1976
As a work of video art David Perry's most significant work during his Griffith Artworks residency (1975-6) was Interior with Views. It represents a perfect moment in the afternoon – dappled sunlight and a cup of tea. It lasts the time it takes to boil the jug and make a cup of tea, and in that action sums up so much of what makes the Australian manner, encapsulating the quiet steadiness of his life as artist-in-residence. Somehow this simple work brings out the quiet pleasure of the Australian bush while being an elegant and spare reflection on just what video art can be.
