Artwork Story
This work is an etching, monoprint on BFK cotton rag paper.
Anne McMasters’ images portray natural environment of the Tiwi Islands and north Australian coast including tidal mangroves and coral. Other elements that influence her work are the changing nature of the seasons and the beautiful monsoonal light
Her explorations with printmaking and watercolour mediums have led her to investigate the coastal aesthetics of mangroves, coral, tide lines and sea faring objects. Through the characteristics of using these materials and techniques Anne has incorporated the louvered window shapes found in tropical architecture to format her mark making and imagery.
In 2019 Anne was an Artist in Resident at Darwin’s Tactile Arts Studios where she researched the notion of Drift, the motion of moving on the sea, movements in time, and elements of tidal flow.
