Banksia is a framed 30 x 40 inch print on satin mat medium. Part of the exhibition DIAMETRIC at Perspective Gallery, Blacksburg, VA which consisted of digital images, fabric sculpture and interactive video. Exploring the landscape of Appalachia and Australia. In Australia the light is intense, sharp and at times blinding. The mountain light is filtered through a veil of moisture, a gentle caress of pastel hues as vistas open up before you on the trail. The land is represented via abstracted images that employ digital mirroring techniques highlighting the reflection of light on land and sea. The exhibition prompted us to consider how the continual destruction of the natural world will hasten our own demise. The Australian component was completed and exhibited during a studio residency in Artspace, Sydney and PODspace Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, 2012.
