| Summary |
The Midawarr Harvest Series is a unique printmaking collaboration between two of Australia's most distinguished senior artists. It explores the remarkable world of edible plants that survive and prosper in the monsoon rain forests and floodplains of East Arnhem Land. These large scale coloured woodblock prints, barks and larrakitj of plants and trees are seen through the different lenses of Mulkun Wirrpanda, a Yolngu artist and clan leader, and John Wolseley, a European-trained artist known for his mixed media paintings of desert landscapes. Two artists, two different approaches, but one abiding passion - to celebrate the natural bounty to be found in the floodplains, swamps, savannas, and woodlands of northern Australia. |
