Raymond Arnold’s Elsewhere World panorama (10 panel etching) has been developed over a decade and has ‘shape-shifted’ from a small ‘en plein air’ etching fragment of a rocky landscape to a large panoramic swathe of sooty black and glacial whites. From depiction of random/erratic forms to a symbolic flow of environmental churn! Weather, fire, mining impacts and climate change impacting country and leaving it’s bones i.e. the rock and the tree stumps exposed as textural elements within a graphic ossuary.
From that simple beginning of the small copper plate etching, a total of 214 further etching ‘fragments’ were developed to encompass a swath of environmental feelings and factors about the Western Tasmanian mined landscapes. The components of the panorama and its attendant fragments have been shown together a number of times under the rubric of ‘Expanded Field’.
