Artists & Their Space

Ricky Swallow - Highland Park Hydra/Field

Rickey Swallow's Highland Park Hydra/Field was sculpted and first exhibitioned in 2003. The sculpture is a Jetulong wood carving of a cactus and pot anchored onto a steel frame. Swallow commented that the sculpture was strangely time consuming to produce and "the time invested in the piece was somehow embalmed in the object of the final result". Steel rods are threaded through each of the nine wooden sections and anchored to a steel spine in the lower pot section. Throughout the sculpting and carving process, Swallow attached more completed sections the further up he went and on several of these completed sections, he also carved graffiti to mark the passage of time in stages.

Sidney Nolan - 'Central Australia'

Sidney Nolan's 'Central Australia' painted in 1950 was one of his first exhibition paintings depicting 'aerial' landscapes. The painting was painted on compositional board using ripolin enamel and red ochre oil paint. Nolan stated that he wished to establish a contrast between the 'bright gloss of the ripolin enamel used for the sky and the burnished sun scorched earthiness of the oils used to paint the hills', when interviewed about the painting. The ripolin enamel was used first in the bottom layers of the painting. Nolan then painted multiple layers using red ochre oil on top of the inital layers of enamel, and eventually used the butt of his brush to create the strokes which define the shapes of the hills.
