‘red moon over the hill’ > mixed media on german etching 2010

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

During 2009 and 2010 I visited the Far West of NSW and was inspired by the colour, light and the shapes of the industrial landscape in Broken Hill. This work tries to capture the memory of the full moon standing on the Line of Lode at sunset where old mines still stand as a memory of bygone days.

My mixed media works speak about a sense of time and place. Where fragments of past and present merge together seeking answers by revealing an intimate glimpse in a layered landscape – physically and metaphorically.
