100 Artworks for a Koala entry: Title: ‘ Time to Rejuvenate ‘
Size: w 100 cm x 69 cm | Medium: mixed media on 300 gsm Fabriano Paper
“I remember the first night I heard a koala in my backyard. It’s a sound that is incredibly hard to forget! I now feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to experience that, it’s hard to believe that the koala is becoming so endangered through loss of their habitat that this is becoming less and less likely. After all the fires, the terrible drought, it’s time to support, plan for years ahead and to rejuvenate” Kylie Fogarty.
Artist statement
Kylie FOGARTY: “I have been infatuated with drawing from a young age. It is intrinsic to the process of my art practice. Drawing enables a simplification of subject matter, providing a catalyst for interpretation, expression, and exploration of time and place. I explore my responses and connection to the natural world, of which often includes cloud formations, coastal scenes, rainforests whilst narrating moments of time.”
