SUE FIELD

The Walls of Jerusalem, Tasmania. (After Dali)

Finalist Glover Art Prize 2023

“This painting was completed after my visit to Tasmania’s pristine wilderness in 2023. This encounter became a catalyst for a series of paintings exploring historical echoes and colonial trauma within its landscapes. This ancient land of the Big River Nation serves as a haunting mise en scene, where the disconnected emergency red telephone phone and floating EXIT sign prompt feelings of ambivalence and hopelessness.”
