Artist: Rebekah Seriah - Webster
Title: Natures Markings
Year: 2021
Materials: Reclaimed hardwoods, natural dye- rust vinegar lanolin oil, oxides
Dimensions: Individually they are approx 2500mm tall by 500 x 500 mm and grouped together the dimension is approx 3000mm x 2000mm
- ode to the majestic epiphany of natures making
The hand carved and tool formed surface of the individual yet grouped panels gives a very real and weighted stance. The physical surface is carved, ground ,painted, scored, belted and sanded to reveal the inner growth ring markers and secondary yet real aging of the reclaimed Australian hardwoods.
The strong geometric carving catches sunlight forms shadow and plays with silhouette. A closer inspection reveals time faded timbers, and resins pulled to the surface, subtle color play on the eye hinting at depth of hidden information.
A vehicle with which the artist attempts to share and explore their lived experience of this country using a rudimentary form of physical mind mapping Perhaps a made up language to describe place and perspective. A made up language which beckons investigation of place. This work attempts to share a language and coordinates with which the artist personally catalogues a history of terrain, emotion, and experience.
To map experience , immortalize directions and catalogue questions for further investigation. This tableau, used to precise, remind, and store coordinates to further navigate the artists enquiry of environment. The artist attempts to quantify and document their experiences of the environment by using their own skill with contour, shape and color .Then they attempt to share it with the viewer. Do we need to describe our country using economic rationalities ,politics and a “what it can do for us attitude?”
Or can we yield to a kinder more sympathetic, more human approach.
