Rona Green Lucky LeVon 2022 hand-coloured linocut edition of 23 56 x 76 cm.

Danielle Creenaune Luminous Fall 2022 woodcut on Somerset Satin White paper 101 x 80 cm.
Luminous Fall forms the expression of a new passage which attempts to capture the nuances and meaning of water. Deriving inspiration from the waterfalls and creeks in the Illawarra landscape and the small flowing creek outside Creenaune’s studio, the artist explores the different qualities of water in this work – movement, light, strength, fluidity, substance and flow – through vertical form and line.
Dianne Fogwell Tempest 2023 linocut, pigmented ink 142 x 152 cm
“Tempest is a contemplation on global recent floods, their beauty and destruction and ponderings on our ability to take up the challenge of climate change.” – Dianne Fogwell
