Proximity by Judy Rogers

Artist Statement: I came to Australia from an unfamiliar European background against which everything in the landscape still seems fresh new and exciting and so different from the land I grew up. Therefore I approach my adopted country with the spirit of passionate wonder. This artwork is a manifestation of my experience walking trails immersed in strong light in bushland getting close-up and truly involved. For me the plants are important to distinguish and to identify the land I am experiencing.
