Artwork Story
Handmade Abaca paper with multiple watermarks.
Northern Territory based artist Winsome Jobling is engaged in all aspects of paper making from historical and seasonal research to sourcing, harvesting and nurturing the fibre and plants. Each plant produces uniquely different qualities of paper.
In her exhibition of new work titled Breathe, Jobling applies her knowledge of plants and papermaking to reflect upon the cycles and re-cycling rhythms of the earth.
The air we breathe in is taken into the lungs, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system’s means of getting oxygen to the blood. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide, absorb energy and release oxygen through photosynthesis. The oceans and other waters are like life’s bloodstream conveying nutrients, heat and the elements, while the atmosphere protects, supplies and recycles. Life is interconnected on every level.
