South West Printmakers 10th group exhibition

11 June - 6 July

Liza McCosh

Artist Statement

In my artistic practice I have constantly drawn on the elements of nature to inspire imagery that comments on the environment, in particular, how nature is interconnected and integral to all life cycles. The theme of ‘Time’ is reflected in the imagery across this body of work: from the layers of sediment in the earth’s structure to the ebb and flow of tides, the movement from day to night, the seasons and the state of flux inherent in these cycles of time. In my process, I have adopted the most painterly printmaking method: a monotype is a one-off unique print, and in this case the prints were pulled from a perspex plate. The use of Yuppo as a support for some of the prints assists in a more painterly effect than other more traditional forms of printmaking achieve.

Artist Statement

‘Roses and Scotch Thistles came to Australia from across the seas in colonial times.

My maternal grandmother's Lutheran family from Prussia, settled in the Barossa Valley S.A.

Embroidery was no doubt a welcome respite from the rigors of colonial rural life.

I enjoyed the challenge of marrying this old relic with my vinyl-cut imagery.’

Des Bunyon

Artist Statement

Time is the central antagonist in Lewis Carroll’s classic story Alice in Wonderland. But Time is more than a ticking clock—it’s the mischievous force behind Alice’s strange journey. When she asks, “How long is forever?” the White Rabbit replies, “Sometimes, just one second.”

As Alice tumbles into Wonderland, time stretches, shrinks, and twists. She meets curious characters like the White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, and Queen of Hearts—each adding to the chaos and charm.

Wonderland defies logic, as Tweedledee wisely says:
"If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic."

Memento mori

Wiridgil homestead is like cabinets of curiosities, and I have contributed to that collection.

The objects explore the natural sciences and history and are an accumulation of experience

and knowledge and exhibit layers of identity and the passing of time – of both the richness of

life and also of loss.The objects remind us to look more closely at nature and the lives of

those who came before us.‘Memento mori’ reminds of the inevitability of death but is also a

Positive reminder to make the most of each day.

Artist Statement

The woodgrain relief prints I have been working on since the ‘Trees’ exhibition (2021) are a great representation of time, showing the seasons a tree has endured over its lifetime. Like a human life, the lifespan of a tree is insignificant in the context of evolution, reaching back 3.5 billion years since the first simple, single-celled prokaryotes.

51.One minute to midnight , woodgrain relief print with ink drawing (monoprint) 53x49, $450

Andrea Radley

Artist Statement

I have for a long time enjoyed walking at the Mouth of the Hopkins River. It is calming, refreshing and great exercise. The mouth of the river, the final point of a rivers’ journey, where the calm waters of the river merge with the tumultuous sea. Here I have enjoyed watching the whales, the birds and the animals congregate and the eels migrate. I am so lucky to live so close.
