Gary Shinfield
Recent work has been based on immersive experiences in nature and the creative process was used to form connections with place. I worked on site, drawing, painting and cutting blocks in the Blue Mountains and Wollemi National Parks. Relief printing processes were used to make unique state images on stained and painted, handmade paper. Works made are also intuitive responses to certain elements – water, earth, fire, air - encountered in the surrounding environment. This way of working seeks to reveal spirit of place.
