Wandering through paint in the wet tropics
Painterly depictions of landscapes are redolent of an artist's vision and entwine topographical features with knowledge and experience of a place. Significant landscape paintings can become iconic images suggesting the national character of a region. In the genre of Australian landscape painting, images of southern states have dominated the field, while portrayals of the wet tropics are comparatively rare. In this article, artist Jacqueline Scotc…
Plastic Gothic
The contamination of life with plastic pollution and humanity’s lethargic response to the problem is an unfolding terror: a story of Gothic horror unfolding in contemporary times. The power of Mary Shelley’s Gothic novel Frankenstein looms over the current terror of plastic pollution to encourage changes to the materials we create, use and discard. In Frankenstein, a monster was spawned in a process that desecrates the act of creating new life. S…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to promote narrative inquiry as a legitimate research approach for artists undertaking postgraduate research higher degrees. Design/methodology/approach: This paper takes the form of a literature review describing practice-led research. It draws heavily on theories of art to support its claims. Findings: In Creative Arts postgraduate research degrees, where the thesis is delivered in the form of artifacts and…
Uncertain Futures
The works of art in the exhibition Exodus: Coral Bleaching and Heat Stress call attention to habitat degradation due to climate change. Cyclones and bleaching events have resulted in the loss of fifty percent of the coral cover in the Great Barrier Reef over the past three decades. The capacity for art to secure belief through reflective understanding is argued in relation to the moral predicament of anthropogenic climate change. The sublime is r…
Tidelines
On a sunny, calm day in the tropics, waves wash ashore plastic bottles, discarded thongs and sparkling red shards from broken car taillights, littering the tideline. The appeal of the tropics, imagined as a pristine verdant paradise replete with exotic plants and enigmatic animals, belies the impact of human activity on the region. Works of art, however, can reveal this ecological change, offering new ways of comprehending our place in the tropic…
A Fragile Life
This paper examines the potential for visual art to communicate concerns about vulnerable species in the Torrid Zone. The processes of selecting materials and symbolic forms to articulate these concerns will be described. Aesthetics considerations are discussed in relation to the capacity of art to generate reflection
