I’m thrilled that my work Undergrowth (Stockyard Spur) has been acquired for the ACT Legislative Assembly Art Collection!
Undergrowth (Stockyard Spur), 2020, watercolour monotype on paper, 168cm x 228cm, photo by Brenton McGeachie.
This 168cm x 228cm watercolour monotype was made in response to an oct 2019 Craft ACT and ACT Parks residency in Namadgi National Park, shortly before the 2020 fires. I walked up Stockyard Spur twice during the 10 day residency - a super steep, super rewarding route up Mt Gingera, through snow gums and mountain gums, in heavy fog and bright sun - I was fascinated by the complexity of the undergrowth immediately surrounding me. It seems fitting that the resulting work will remain here on Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country, Canberra. It was first exhibited in late 2020 at Tuggeranong Arts Centre and then in the Megalo Print Studio online Members exhibition.
