We’re excited to welcome Emma Margetts as our latest Artist in Residence 🎨

Emma is a Tasmanian artist whose post-gothic art practice is about the world she sees and experiences around her. Her works explore the interconnectivity and disruptive implications AI technology has for humanity. It asks if the emerging powers latent within this new technology can alter humanities current trajectory or just provide another distraction along the way to planetary annihilation.

Discover the works of our latest Artist in Residence Trish Verdouw; a Tasmanian-based contemporary artist who uses the process of walking and drawing to become part of ‘place’.

Trish conveys both the macrocosm and microcosm of Pipe Clay Lagoon on the South Arm Peninsula by using charcoal, ink and liquid graphite as her medium. The repetition of line and form are key factors in her works - evoking rhythm and movement, accentuating patterns and incorporating the intertwining line of her walk with all inhabitants that live on the tidal line.

Being immersed and connected to place is important, as Trish interprets her observations through her latest works.

Connect with Trish as she works from The Henry Jones Art Hotel Reception for the next three weeks.

We are excited to announce the winner of the Glover Prize 2024 – Nicholas Blowers for his work titled ‘Lake Bed.’

From the artist:
“In 2015, I went in search of a landscape that I briefly glimpsed on an ABC news report. The water level at Lake Gordon had fallen by 45 meters and a drowned forest had been revealed. It appeared to be an extraordinary scene of tree wreckage and this previously logged forest now stood in the daylight. It was a chaotic spectacle that immediately appealed to me. I thought of Paul Nash and his paintings of WW1 battlefields. In those familiar pictures everything too was blasted and shredded. It was brutal but also beautiful. I visited the shores of Lake Gordon many times over this period and came to feel that the power of this place had something to do with the gulf between the underwater world and this new reality; time slowed underwater but now the daylight illuminated and exposed, time sped up. As the water slowly retreated It was an extreme and unusual landscape that was revealed.”
