@freedom.wilson @laughingbirdprint

Freedom has been based in Katoomba since 2006 and is an artist who is inspired from bushwalking adventures and her passion for local ecology. Drawing and sketching on location forms the foundation for her printmaking practice and the work in this exhibition comprises both silkscreens and cyanotypes on paper.

Freedom's exhibition has developed from fieldwork on the Narrowneck plateau, south of Katoomba; a favourite destination renowned for its sandstone and ironstone rock formations, low growing eucalyptus forests and a plethora of grasses, isopogons, orchids, banksias and grevillea species. This area was badly affected by the 2019/20 Black Summer bushfires that exposed a fragile environment normally concealed by dense bush. The artist hints at regrowth and regeneration with the return of blue hues and reflective atmospheric light from the eucalyptus oils.

The artworks capture the essence of the mountains at day's end... twilight... the last light of the day at a favourite place - on Gundungurra country.

Rare Birds

These assemblages are of no specific species of bird. Their form arrives through a process of working with rare or unusual found objects.

During the making, simplicity is pursued through a restrained use of components, a truth to materials and respect for the found object’s history and patina; the ultimate goal being an aesthetic composition.

Collecting these materials is a major part of the process, from beachcombing after floods, to trolling clean ups, op shops and garage sales; with the spirit of a magpie and eye of an eagle.
