1/2015 | Exhibition Two

Reception: 06 March 2015 6:00pm Lynne Flemons Master of Philosophy Printmedia and Drawing Phenomenology and cross-cultural mapping are two key concepts helpful in understanding the different ways the Australian landscape has been interpreted in recent decades and I have drawn upon them throughout my work. The practical component of my research took place at Lake George/Weeweera where I walked extensively on the dry lake bed during the different seasons. This enabled me to experience first hand the the many phenomena associated with the Weeweera environment; experiences that are reflected in my work. Lynne Flemons grew up in the southern tablelands of NSW in the 1960s. As a child she often accompanied her father whose work as an agronomist took him into much of the rural landscape of the state. Her research work is grounded in these early experiences and her memories of the land. Lynne has been exhibiting and participating in artist residencies for over 25 years and is represented in corporate and private collections in Australia and overseas. Steven Holland Doctor of Philosophy Sculpture This exhibition is the result of my search to find connections between snakes from the Canberra district, and the material of bronze. My quest was to see if I could find the life of snakes hidden within an ancient foundry process. It resulted in a series of sculptures that aim to create a greater awareness and tolerance of elapid snakes, and celebrate them as beautifully adapted reptiles that live amongst us. Steven Holland is a Canberra-based artist whose practice explores interrelationships between humans and the natural world with a particular focus on animals. Grounded in the discipline of sculpture, his work embraces a multiple media approach including drawing, installation, assemblage and performance. He was born in Western Australia and studied at Curtin University, Perth, the ANU School of Art and the Royal College of Art, London. His work is held in international, national and state gallery collections. In 2009 he completed a commission to design the Animals in war memorial at the Australian War Memorial. He has lectured in the ANU School of Art Foundation Studies for many years and lives on a sheep farming property near Michelago.
