The Pipeline Track
Belinda Hall
Edition of 4
linocut handprinted on archival paper with linseed oil inks
This linocut shows a walker with a bright yellow backpack moving along the tree‑lined Pipeline Track — an
historic route that once carried water from kunanyi’s slopes to Hobart and is now one of the mountain’s most
loved walking paths. The figure is held within the quiet rhythm of the forest, the path drawing the eye forward into light and shadow.
Each 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.
Artist Statement- Thirty-six Views of the Mountain: Shore to Summit
Thirty-six Views of the Mountain: Shore to Summit, comprises linocuts exploring the mountain’s presence from sea level to high country. The central triptych, Thirty-six Views of the Mountain, presents thirty-six small linocuts arranged in three panels of twelve — glimpses of kunanyi from Kingston Beach, through the suburbs, and up to the summit tracks.
This exhiibiton has been inspired by renowned Japanese woodcut artist Hokusai's series, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. The series of woodcuts depicts Mount Fuji from different locations and in various seasons and weather conditions. Belinda has brought this idea into the local context, highlighting Hobartian's reverence to kunanyi, which has become the iconic background of our beloved city, an ever present reminder of the wild beauty that exists right on our doorstep.
