Behind me, textured sand leads to the lapping shore, while the water catches the light. In the reflection of the goggles, the silhouette of kunanyi appears — a quiet hint of the landscape behind the viewer, and a reminder of how place stays with us like a panoramic orbit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach impression is printed by hand from carved lino blocks, with a small pop of translucent colour added using hand‑cut cardboard blocks to highlight subtle details within the scene. Beneath the image sits a short poetic line, stamped with vintage letterpress type, offering a moment of stillness and presence. These unframed prints are packaged with care and can be collected, paired, or curated to form a haiku that resonates with you.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\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\/2","offer_id":51634817597755,"sku":"33807","price":170.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2\/2","offer_id":51634817630523,"sku":"33808","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0022\/0204\/2443\/files\/Untitled-design-15_3b2fcdcf-b9f8-4af1-be82-2a3ab5701ab4.jpg?v=1788158644","url":"https:\/\/wildislandtas.com.au\/products\/belinda-hall-reflected","provider":"Wild Island Tasmania","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
