It was
wonderful once again to be included as a finalist in the 2018 Watershed Art
Prize. This important initiative by the Salisbury City Council in conjunction
with major sponsor ICE WaRM (the
International Centre of Excellence in Water Resources Management), has
continued to highlight the need for sustainable water management while
maintaining our delicate natural environment.
This years
exhibition again provided a wide range of paintings focusing upon a myriad of
subjects within the broader themes of water conservation and nature. For my
part, I included a piece entitled ‘Signs of Life’ that depicted a tranquil scene
of the Mawson Lakes wetlands with a distant reminder of the encroaching
man-made world as represented by highway signs on the horizon.
This years
overall winner was ‘The Night Watch’ by Gerhard Ritter, while I was very
pleased to have been awarded the ‘Mawson Lakes Living Editors Choice Award’.
