21 September to 9 November, 2024
ECOLOGICOOL
"My work has evolved away from the representational through to the mostly abstract. I like to start my art works with no set plan in mind, creating marks. It becomes an exciting adventure to see where each painting will lead me.
It becomes a dialogue, a type of conversation between the work and myself. I let my subconscious take the lead, then I respond to the painting. I try to control things then let go.Some works are very spontaneous while others let me see something in them. I like to work with that, giving the viewer an inkling of it without giving too much away, so that each person can take away what they like."
Oil paintings and drypoint prints by Liz Millsom
"My work explores the themes of conservation and ecology within the Australian environment. I work as an arts educator, life modelling convenor and artist.
Australia has long had one of the highest rates of animal extinctions in the world (the highest for mammals). “Ecologicool” presents a narrative between native and introduced species that cause an imbalance to the ecosystems. The dingo is dominant in my work as it’s the top terrestrial predator and is considered critically endangered.My work explores this with a selection of oil paintings and mixed media drypoint prints inspired by Australia’s unique native species juxtaposed with introduced, industrialised species."
