Blue Wishing Tree 2014 (3 plate colour etching 50 x 50cm)
Europe. Into the woods features a horizontal line of
trees, their leafy tops truncated out of the picture
plane, while violent scratched line work crisscross the
scene. There is no path through the ghostly white
forms of tree trunks, which from the low viewing
perspective appear almost like bars of a prison.
Whereas other works such as Nanango II are
similarly dense, yet depict the organic forms of
vegetation in vivid, celebratory fashion.
Consistent within these prints, and all the works in
this exhibition is the artist’s investigation of the
emotional, psychological and spiritual experience of
the natural world, and a keen awareness of her place
within it.
Protection is showing at the Firestation Print
