Recently one of the paper rolls in the One river project installations in Mitchell and Canberra, has been re-visited and shown in an installation of print and drawing works at Crane Arts, Philadelphia. Two years after soaking paper in the Maranoa River for the project with the community of Mitchell I returned west of the Maranoa on the Wallam Creek to draw in the parched creek bed. The collaged frottage drawings are part of a series of work that transfer the surfaces of this previously ‘unseen’ landscape onto the Kozo paper.
