Artist Statement - Melaleuca
This exhibition is inspired by the remote settlement of Melaleuca in Tasmania’s Southwest National Park, originating from a meaningful trip I took with my sister. We flew to Melaleuca and explored Bathurst Harbour, two months after our father, an avid bushwalker, passed away in 2020. I took his place on the flight, and the experience was memorable and emotional, as my father had hiked in this region throughout his life.
During the journey, I was struck by the landscape’s colours and textures, which I captured in over 500 photos. These images, along with my memories and imagination, form the foundation of this artwork. Although I’ve traditionally worked in printmaking, I chose to explore drawing using soft pastels for their rich colour range. The body of artwork blends semi-abstract aerial views and landscape, with more realistic depictions of land, water, and sky, creating both layered and segmented compositions. These artworks aim to evoke the spirit of this remarkable place, as well as the profound impact that day had on me personally
