Exhibited as part of 'Sub-plots' exhibition with artists Mick O'Shea, Marianne Keating and Stephen Brandes at allerArt, Bludenz, Austria, 2011 and Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh, Co. Cork, 2012
In this work, ideas of distance and fragmented realities are explored, landscape becomes a site for the collapse of time and space through imagined and real connections between places.
This work was developed from research in Austria and Australia in 2010 and 2011. The work consisted of a painted mural with photographs, research material and text. The mural is a fragmented outline drawing of a painting by Eugene von Guérard painted onto the wall of the gallery. Guérard was an Austrian immigrant to Australia in the nineteenth century. He went to Australia to mine gold and ended up playing an important role in the development of the Australian art world as director of the art school and the art museum in Melbourne for more than thirty years. He was also an important painter in his own right, though his work is little known outside Australia.
