Images of Tasmania

Deborah St Leger

The work for Images of Tasmania 24 takes a critical look at the simple subject matter of trees. The Casuarina Series is a melding of imaginative looking, creative thinking and experimental mark making with the simple medium of pencil. The trees become semi-abstract constructs of shapes and textures designed to disrupt assumptions about the representation of trees. I wish to shift our vision of the ordinary and create a sense of wonder.
