Artwork Description

The entanglement, a contemporary vanitas confronting the repeated loss of a landscape, reflects the consequences of human-driven environmental change. Along the highway between Melbourne and Canberra, a once biodiverse terrain was claimed, cleared, colonised, razed, and capitalised on by humans, leaving only heaps of debris and the remnants of a pine plantation. The blinding light reveals devastation and our responsibility for the interconnectedness of matter and meaning
Created with ubiquitous materials, graphite, water and plastic,

Artist Bio

I am a Naarm/Melbourne-based artist whose work dwells in the entanglement of ecology and human intervention. Drawing from the aesthetics of beauty and the sublime in romantic landscape traditions, I explore how a human-centred gaze alters and unsettles the natural world.
