Australia
Artist's Statement:
"... and what i have been preparing to say is, that in wildness is the preservation of the world. Every tree sends its fibres forth in search of the wild. The cities import it at any price. Men plough and sail for it. From the forest and wildness comes the tonics and barks which brace mankind..."
— Henry David Thoreau, "Walden, or life in the Woods." 1854
Biography (condensed):
Dr.Anne Graham is a leading Australian artist and academic. She has been exhibiting internationally since 1975 and has worked with communities in Australia, Poland, Japan and America to develop collaborative responses to various environments; these works are intended to enhance the community’s sense of ownership of a place or history; they generally take the form of public art works or community parks, gardens or playgrounds. Often her work takes the form of a temporary intervention into a public space which provided a platform for community engagement and interaction. She is the recipient of a Merit Award from the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) for permanent public artwork and has completed major public art works in Japan and Australia, most recently at the Mount Stromlo Observatory ANU.
