Zali Receives ARTEXPRESS Selection for Outstanding Visual Arts Body of Work
We would like to congratulate Zali, HSC Class of 2024, whose Body of Work, ‘My Mind Travels’, has been selected for inclusion in ARTEXPRESS!
Her piece is a single, large digital drawing that captivates viewers with its intricate detail and vibrant colours.
“My body of work consists of one large digital drawing. I have been inspired by the Dutch draftsman M.C.Escher. I wished to visually illustrate the abstract thoughts within my mind. It is not tangential thinking, but I often feel cognitive overload if too much information is disseminated at one time. If instructions are not broken down into procedural steps my mind travels on a journey like the yellow brick road in the Wizard of Oz. I have represented this visually through the meandering pathways that lead the eye around the artwork, on a journey that is both convoluted and never ending. I have applied a 1970’s inspired psychedelic colour palette to reference the subconscious mind.”
ARTEXPRESS is a prestigious annual exhibition that celebrates the exemplary work of Visual Arts students from across New South Wales. Zali's Body of Work will be displayed at the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Grafton Regional Gallery.
Congratulations Zali on this outstanding achievement.
