"WATER...water...'' New prints by Australian artist, Fran Ifould
Artist Statement: The artistic ambition for this artwork lies in a portrayal of the state of our environment and how it has been affected by two hundred years of colonial tenure. Through art practice based in the landscape I have discovered a renewed interest in the question of land ownership, defined by possession, or stewardship being a charge committed upon oneself. An artist seeks out the spirit of a landscape to match their own spirit, which gives an excellent opportunity to connect with the environment, thus opening avenues for one to adopt an attitude of kinship with the land. To this end I have travelled to isolated areas, communicated with Indigenous people of the inland river systems of New South Wales and enjoyed the inspiration available in the remnant forests in south eastern Australia. The work I have produced for this program is intended to provoke recognition of the spirituality of the land, through consideration of endangered landscapes and endangered skills.
