Very honest too that you dont know what youre going to get. Headland was striking very volcanic which Im sure everyone has said. You could almost see and feel lava flowing ... the images kept morphing the more you looked at it. The global warmingshifting coastline was abundantly clear to my yobbo eye. I loved it. I actually like Shoreline even more though. I liked their striking simplicity but even moreso than Headland the more you looked at it the more they morphed. I was at the beach up the coast on the weekend and I can see the shifting sands in the work but in these I almost felt like I was looking at clouds they kept changing and you could see in them what you wanted.

The burnt redblack ones almost felt like a furnace almost the inside of a bushfire again I could see animals dying while the black and white fe... 2008-10-30T00:00:00Z http://www.handprintedmedia.com/page5.htm#32830 Mapping timeThe work These abstract paintings of maps touch on two major issues at the moment land ownership and climate change. Countries and their boundaries are constantly shifting due to climate change government change religionbased conflicts poverty and migration.

These same maps are held up by governments as motivation in their fight over land. Such conflicts raise a lot of questions how do we define land Can it really be owned Are these maps proper evidence of ownership Are we defined by these borders or by the people living within themSecondly on an environmental level these painted maps attempt to evoke the changing nature of land due to global warming. Todays coastline will not be the same tomorrow. This state of flux is why I did away with paintbrushes. Instead I would balance the colour or shoreline as one c... 2008-10-25T00:00:00Z http://www.handprintedmedia.com/page5.htm#37002 Graham is pictured with Dutch ecologist and founder of the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation BOS Willie Smits on a rare visit to Sydney last year.
