Angophora 2 by Brett Green
This work is inspired by a tree viewed, sketched and photographed while hiking in the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Typical of the Angophora Costata or Sydney Red Gum, the fleshy protuberances, wound-like openings and contorted limbs suggest long, silent pain or anthropocentric suffering. The central and most interesting limb of this tree ends with a mouth like opening, turned upwards like the beak of a hungry featherless juvenile bird. Brett endeavours to communicate the form, volume and surface of the subject as well as how the light hits it, how it feels to the touch and a sense of great age through fluid twists and turns of paint, embracing the chance that spontaneous, intuitive mark making can reveal.
