Amanda Thomson – Artist Statement The large scale woodcut ‘Latrobe Valley Vista’ represents the duality which exists in humanity’s relationship with the natural world. I live in the Latrobe valley which is a part of Gippsland. This region is known for its picturesque rural landscape but is also home for electricity production. My immediate environment contains the idyllic rolling hills, dotted by stands of trees butted up against open cut mines and power stations belching out toxic clouds. These are the disparate elements which inhabit my images as seen in “Latrobe Valley Vista”. I tend to source my ideas from my immediate environment and the Latrobe Valley is a showcase in revealing our exploitation of our precious natural world. My work is concerned with our dependence on nature for our survival but our inability to fulfil our duty as caretakers for the environment. Elisabeth Scott - Artist Statement Animals have appeared again in my current work. They act as anonymous vehicles to convey my observations and conclusions. Many of these animals represent the people in my life and the traits they demonstrate, how they interact and connect. Just don’t ask me who is who. Lyndy Lord - Artist Statement Inspired by my immediate environment and literature, I continue to explore the relationship between humanity and the natural world. These wood engravings are the result of my investigation into our disengagement from nature and the extreme detrimental effects that this has had on our world ecosystem. My approach has been a personal one, whereby I have used the knowledge of the impact on my immediate surroundings to address more universal concerns. Thus my very last image of this series, ‘Where the heart is’ is an appropriate end point. My deep connection to place is reflected in the comforting garden protected by a wall which delineates the two areas of my concern, the personal, immediate environment and the rest of the world.
