The south-west Victorian landscape highlights nature’s elements with rugged coastlines\, dramatic sky-scapes and volcanic topography.  Themes of water\, air\, earth and fire\, inspired by this immediate environment\, have dominated McCosh’s practice over the preceding twenty-five years.  An interest in the Sublime\, environmental concerns and the generative possibilities of painting further underpin her work. \nThe artwork in LIMINAL derives from McCosh’s direct engagement with the natural environment. She is interested in the transient and threshold experiences; fleeting times and latent spaces through which knowledge of the natural world is embodied by artist to be further transformed through studio interaction.  It is important to McCosh that her painting material is allowed some level of autonomy in creating her imagery.  This method of working positions matter as animate\, rather than inanimate\, and allows for a space of negotiation whereby unique creative effects and insights into matter can emerge; in this process the form of artist\, environment and materials of production\, co-emerge through the creative process.  The paintings become symbolic of the generative possibilities of matter\, probing the process of material interaction as informative and relevant in increased understandings of the natural environment and material world.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1451285630325-09def419-bb74b1db-6de19113-455e”][vc_column_text]Liza McCosh is Founder and Director of SCOPE Galleries Warrnambool where she has developed and implemented a National Environmental Art Award\, Art Concerning Environment and has curated several group exhibitions on environmental themes.

I emotionally respond to all I’m experiencing. It’s exhilarating and a privilege to be able to work out there\,” Swann said. \nSwann’s plein air paintings reflect the colour\, movement\, architecture and drama of the Australian landscape. Through her unique perspective she captures its essence with energy and emotion. \nSwann has exhibited extensively for the last 30 years in New South Wales and Queensland. Journeys Through Landscape is her second Melbourne solo exhibition.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1451285630325-09def419-bb74b1db-6de195f3-80eb”][vc_column_text]Born in Sydney\, Terry Swann is one of Australia’s foremost contemporary watercolourists. She has been a professional artist for over 30 years. \nEach winter Swann travels through remote areas of Australia working on location in all weather conditions. \nHer work is strongly bound to place\, the mood of the landscape and her own emotions captured and reflected with a perspective\, vibrancy and colour-palette that is uniquely Australian. \nSwann works in watercolour and mixed media only using colour created from natural pigments\, including ochre found on-site. \nSwann had her first solo exhibition in 1978 at Sydney’s Holdsworth Galleries who exhibited her work for over 18 years. She has held numerous solo exhibitions in Sydney and Brisbane. Journeys through Landscape is her second Melbourne solo exhibition. \nHer work is held in numerous private and public collections including the State Library of Brisbane\, State Parliament House of Queensland and Federal Parliament Offices\, Brisbane.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:The Trees Are Falling Into The Sea And Other Stories: Part Two

Being immersed in the landscape over the winter\, I was able to observe and document ‘an extreme erosion event’ (Parks Victoria beach closure signage). The trees were falling into the sea faster than I could draw or photograph them\, it was like walking through the fallen on a battlefield\, their bones bleaching white by the waves. \nWhat I am observing is occurring all over the world\, this is a result of climate change\, human interventions\, and more locally\, channel deepening\, which has dramatically changed the shape and structure of the coastline in Port Phillip Bay\, eroding some parts beyond recognition. \nWhile the installation of drawings at fortyfivedownstairs will mirror plant collection points around Port Phillip Bay\, small fragments that have been dislodged from cliffs and embankments\, they also refer to all living beings\, be they plant\, animal or human\, or all three at once. \nThis project is supported by the City of Melbourne Annual Arts Grants Program.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1451285630325-09def419-bb74b1db-6de1158a-b56e”][vc_column_text]Rosie Weiss is a Melbourne / Mornington Peninsula based artist & educator. In 1992 she won the Moet & Chandon Australian Art Fellowship with a painting titled lung\, a reaction to the chemical fire on Coode Island the same year. In 1996 she completed her Master of Arts at RMIT with Intimate Patterns\, a body of work that examined our relationship with nature.  \nShe has exhibited in Australia\, Asia and France over the past twenty years\, and her work can be found in collections across Australia including The National Gallery of Victoria\, Tasmanian Museum & Art Gallery\, Artbank & The National Gallery of Australia.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Inspired by a range of influences during the residency including ancient Minoan ceramics\, Byzantine paintings\, site-specific folkloric tales and ancestral stories\, she has produced a suite of images that offer the viewer an insight into the artistic process from initial ideas to experimentation\, synthesis and generation of works; moving from flux to stasis and back again. \nJosephine Fagan is a cross disciplinary artist and educator\, practicing since 1999.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Having participated in several group exhibitions including Eltham Wiregrass Gallery and The Herbarium\, Royal Botanic Gardens\, Melbourne\, I had a successful retrospective solo exhibition at the Smith Street Gallery in Fitzroy in 2007. \nUsing a binocular microscope\, I spent six years doing ink drawings of seeds and cotyledons for a book on raising small Australian plants from seed\, working under the direction of microbiologist\, plant researcher\, gardener and great friend Judith Barker. \nI continue to run workshops at VINC (Victorian Indigenous Nurseries Cooperative) on how to draw native seeds in pencil and pen\, using a binocular microscope. \nAilsa Campbell\, 2016[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
