Through layering and linework, my aim is to create a form of spacial harmony.

ABOUT MARINA:

My work is an intuitive response to nature and the built environment. I live outside the city environment. For 29 years I lived in the Central Desert and now since April 2021, I call the Wurundjeri/Yarra Valley area home.

I attempt to activate the feeling of being in the landscape, deconstructing and anthropomorphizing the landscape, challenging the human-centered viewpoint of nature. Through layering and linework, my aim is to create a form of spacial harmony: a place of refuge, as nature does.

My work responds to the brilliant glare of the Australian light. I use the irregularities and patterns of a world where nature is the major stakeholder.

This series references the vistas we drive past on the way to the shed in Healesville. We pass the many wineries and market gardens that create a raked landscape, delineated by fences and pockets of bush.

Marina is exhibiting “The Yarra Valley” at Australian Galleries from 14 November - 2 December 2023.
