These artworks represent Wendy McGrath-Lakeland’s practice of combining printmaking, painting, installation, and mixed media works on paper, to translate the ephemeral elements of a landscape such as energy and embedded memory, the ephemeral… as we experience landscape through all of our senses.
Wendy McGrath-Lakeland lives and has a studio in the Noosa Hinterland on the country of the Kabi Kabi. She makes works that are based on research and the experience of history and the embedded memory of landscape. Her projects encompass a wide variety of landscapes and subject matter, through site-specific temporary sculptures and installations, which are realized through commissions or artist residencies.
These works, though varied in location, all reflect an experience of nature and the embedded memory held within the landscape. We all have agency and leave our imprint.70 WORDS: Based on years of observation and research within the bird and mammal collections at the Queensland Museum, Deb Mostert seeks to explore the objectification of animals in nature through taxidermy, and in culture through the souvenir. Nature and Culture - animal as object examines how we have and are creating facsimiles of our natural world and profiting from these copies despite the real risk of losing the originals.
