The rafters of the Kingston Beach changeroom act as a natural viewfinder, framing the distant mountain while the shadow of a swimmer illuminates the wall like an unplanned portrait. It is a scene that exists for only a breath, yet lingers in memory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe linocut process became a way of honouring that stillness. Printed on Awagami paper with linseed-oil inks, the work holds the softness of the fibres and the warmth of hand-rolled blend rolls, where translucent colours settle gently into one another. Each carved line traces the architecture of the moment — the geometry of the rafters, the long afternoon shadow, the quiet expanse beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFloat-mounted in a black wooden frame, the piece invites viewers to pause and step into that calm interval. It reflects the feeling of a day when everything is simply right, reminding us that beauty often arrives in the smallest, most fleeting alignments of place, light, and presence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist Statement- Thirty-six Views of the Mountain: Shore to Summit \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThirty-six Views of the Mountain: Shore to Summit is a celebration of the quiet ways Kunanyi reveals itself in daily life — from the shimmer of Kingston Beach to the winding roads of the suburbs and the open sky at the summit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspired by Hokusai’s Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, these works pay homage to his deep love of the everyday — the way he found poetry in small encounters, fleeting weather, and the familiar silhouettes of a beloved mountain. Like Fuji in Hokusai’s prints, kunanyi becomes a magnetic anchor here: a steady presence that draws the eye and steadies the heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe linocuts trace moments of recognition — glimpses through an overpass, shadows on a track, the shift of light across water or stone. Many of the smaller works include handprinted verses of seven or five syllables, inviting viewers to compose their own haiku and create a personal journey through the exhibition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist: Belinda Hall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBelinda Hall is a Tasmanian printmaker whose practice is shaped by a lifelong connection to the landscapes and rhythms of southern Lutruwita\/Tasmania. Working primarily in linocut, she is drawn to the medium’s tactile immediacy and its endless possibilities — from jigsaw techniques and layered translucent colour to letterpress text and circular formats that echo domestic patterning. The slow, deliberate process of drawing, carving, rolling out ink, and the final reveal of the hand-pulled print for Belinda, feels like a small act of magic, a way of honouring the handmade in a fast world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBelinda has worked as an educator in both primary and high schools, sharing her love of artmaking, creative problem-solving, and the practice of noticing beauty in the ordinary. Her admiration for Hokusai’s sensitivity to place and daily life continues to influence her approach. Her current exhibition, Thirty-six Views of the Mountain: Shore to Summit, is a quiet homage to him — a gentle mapping of gratitude from shore to summit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Belinda Hall (GNR)","offers":[{"title":"Framed 1\/5","offer_id":51634816975163,"sku":"33941","price":1300.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed 2\/5","offer_id":51634817007931,"sku":"33942","price":450.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed 3\/5","offer_id":51634817040699,"sku":"33943","price":450.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed 4\/5","offer_id":51634817073467,"sku":"33944","price":450.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unframed 5\/5","offer_id":51634817106235,"sku":"33945","price":450.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0022\/0204\/2443\/files\/Untitled-design-35_19653c1a-9200-4d02-874a-2298d72523a6.jpg?v=1788158635","url":"https:\/\/wildislandtas.com.au\/products\/belinda-hall-perfect-day","provider":"Wild Island Tasmania","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
