Humbled to have my work 'Wollemi' selected for the Dobell Drawing Prize 22#, Australia. This work was created last year on residency @bigciaustralia where I'd immersed myself into the Wollemi National Park, NSW Australia. Shortly after, uncontrollable wildfires destroyed more than 500,000 hectares of bushland with ongoing ecological and biodiversity impacts continuing to threaten. The spirit of the Wollemi is deeply engrained in this work, and artistic voice is my attempt to respect what we have and what has been lost. 

The exhibition opens from 26 March 2021 - 22 May 2021. Below is the entry artist statement about this work.

...

A deep dive into the subconscious; an artists’ obsession in line and form.

Drawing consumes us all; it sits within all elements of art and life. It’s a process of seeing, thinking and watching.

I lead a process-driven practice that’s obsessed with detail, structure and form. An illustrative and automatic response, that functions between a controlled consciousness and intuitive response.

‘Wollemi’ explores elements of abstraction, with hints of natural reference that consciously resonates a personal, yet historical connection to the land and sea. The detail in this work strives to imitate and symbolically reflect our environmental dilemma, one that's complex and silent, a dark brood that mediates between fear and hope

We went for a drive up the recently re-opened Putty Road today. It was closed for a couple of months and you can see why. There is so much devistation but some really encouraging signs of growth. The Australian bush is amazingly resilient. We had lunch at a cafe that remained open to feed the fireies even while the road was closed to the public. As always we encouage everyone to get out there and support small businesses, especially in fire effected regions #puttyrd #puttyroad #firies #spendwiththem #buyfromthebush #bluegumcafe #nsw #emptyeskies #nswfires #nswrfs #australia #australianfires #wolleminationalpark #putty #yengonationalpark #hawkesbury #colo #bluemountains #notallheroeswearcapes https://www.instagram.com/p/B7LHsaPgKIR/?igshid=14r83xs5l8vmo

This is the wollemi pine (wollemia nobilis). The oldest fossil of the wollemi tree has been dated to 200 million years ago. Wollemia nobilis is the sole living member of its genus and is classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN's Red List. It was discovered in 1994 by a field officer who was rock climbing through narrow gorges in a temperate rainforest wilderness area of the of the Wollemi National Park in NSW. Fewer than a hundred trees are known to be growing wild, in three localities not far apart, in an undisclosed location. It's one of the world's oldest and rarest plants and is now the focus of extensive research. You can buy your own wollemi pine from www.wollemipine.com and royalties return to researchers to fund conservation efforts in the wild and assist other endangered species.
