Tony Windberg, Golden State, 2021, conte crayon, earth pigments (iron oxides) and oil on 20 wood panels, 204 x 204cm
OPENING | SATURDAY 29 MAY, 2-4PM
Tony Windberg makes connections to the landscape through the innovative use of materials and techniques. Layers of earth pigments are methodically ‘eroded’ to unearth imagery of ancient ranges and abandoned mines in north Western Australia, in a new series of dramatic and brooding artworks that echo geological processes. The moving of mountains through the extraction of resources is also revealed to be in a perpetual state of flux; the cycles of ‘boom and bust’ attest to a tenuous reliance on the oldest landscape on Earth.
