ARTWORK ID: 2024
CATEGORY: North West Flora and Fauna
ARTIST STATEMENT:
There's a calm across the Pilbara as the sun soaks it to the core, and the cool of night takes pace and starts to win the score.
The dust , pinks and yellows settle on spinifex and planes, be quiet, can hear the call, if yes it's time the night shift leave the desert floor.
They used to be in numbers but flame and fur cruelled that.
So where is the night shift now?,that nocturnal yellow green?.
Remembering it's for future generations… you do know what I mean.
Into the blackest of nights, soaked sea of stars, Stop!….take a rare glimpse at this part………let's not, loose that night shift, from our desert heart.
Poem and art by Jase Rickert. Painted with Cockatoo/ Corella feathers.
About the Artist
Artist - Jason Rickert (Jase)
Townsville based emerging artist.
He best describes his works as energetic rustic and lyrical, outside of portraiture he enjoys looking into the deeper layers of culture, land and its psyche.
Most of his works are painted with feathers providing unique compositions, fluid lines in texture and rhythm. Some of his abstract work is deeply subjective, inviting viewers to uncover layers of meaning shaped by the unique contexts he explores.
He also likes to-capture the essence of the Australian landscape delving into its mythical past, present and the context that relationship has between nature and humanity.
Jase has an Associate Diploma of Commercial Art with Honours in Illustration and Design.
