CONGRATULATIONS || JOSHUA YELDHAM
Wynne Prize 2017 Finalist | Art Gallery of NSW
Congratulations to Joshua Yeldham for being one of 42 Finalists for the 2017 Wynne Prize, with his work 'Mother Tree - Morning Bay' (acrylic on hand-carved paper, 210 x 210 cm).
"Over a period of 11 years, I have sat beneath a powerful grey mangrove in a remote lagoon near Pittwater, NSW. On thick hand-made paper, I have carved her trunk with a belt sander, digging through the ink to reveal her – a scarification of carved lines that build a bridge over the vast landscape towards my inner world." Joshua Yeldham, 2017
The Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes will be on view at the Art Gallery of New South Wales until 22 October 2017
