Azimuth: New paper works by Winsome Jobling

2 - 31 October 2009

Winsome Jobling is engaged in all aspects of paper making from historical and seasonal research to sourcing, harvesting and nurturing the fibre plants. Each plant produces unique and different qualities of paper. Her new work is the result of a study trip to the USA, in which the artist has been exploring the use of pigments, pulp spraying and commercially produced fibres such as abaca and hemp.

“The exhibition encompasses the here and the far away. The tracts of bushland within Darwin city are a breathing space and a refuge, a source of materials and ideas. Further away to the moon and the planets – I don’t want to have to move to another planet.” Winsome Jobling 2009
