Literature & references:
Literature: Jeff Makin, 'Stars blossom in spring', Herard Sun, 19 September, 2005, illus p 96: "A huge, magnificent untitled Roger Kemp dominates Eastgate and Holst. Its toothy crosses and whirring cogs in blues, red and Holy Roman purples offer the viewer a bumpy ride into an imagined cosmos."
Reference: David Hurlston, et. al. Roger Kemp: Visionary Modernist, retrospective exhibition catalogue, National Gallery of Victoria, 2019, see p 121 for a similar work ‘Configuration’, 1981, oil and enamel on canvas, 204.4 x 335cm in the NGV Collection;
