ARTWORK ID: 2022
CATEGORY: North West Flora and Fauna
ARTIST STATEMENT:
soft tangles of seaweed and light' is part of a new body of work which continues my exploration of printmaking and abstract collage. Each piece is built from layered processes including seaweed eco-prints gathered after last winter's storms, acrylic seaweed prints, lino cuts, handmade stencils and hand-printed papers.
For this collection I've simplified the compositions, allowing the prints to take the lead. Given space, they begin to speak in their own quiet language.
The palette is distinctly Australian, drawn from the pinks and reds of our sands and the shifting blues and blue-greens of ocean and sky.
The beach sits at the heart of this work. It's where I return to reset, to gather, and to notice. These pieces reflect that rhythm of movement and stillness, where salt, water and time leave their mark, and something fleeting is held, just for a moment. Maybe you feel the same.
MEDIUM: Acrylic, mixed media and hand printed papers on cradled panel (mdf)
ARTWORK DIMENSIONS (width x height): 300mm x 300mm
WEIGHT (approx): 1kg
