Artwork Description

From a Dark Place

0.0 x 0.0

As someone living in a town inside a national park I constantly witness traces of human presence being [seemingly] indelibly scratched into the surface of the earth by significant marks left by machinery, development and vehicles in the same way an artist leaves daubs of paint upon the surface of a canvas. Having once been lost in a Queensland National Park I became aware that one often feels a foreboding about the isolation within a national park wilderness. I have sought to elicit a sense of danger or menace that often accompanies this but also the sadness about the continual exploitation and damage to the fringes of wilderness.
