The title of this exhibition and the titles of the works have been drawn from the writings of the wonderful Australian Poet, Judith Wright who was known as the 'the conscience of the nation' for her commitment to the environment and Aboriginal land rights. Her aesthetic centres on the relationship between people and the environment, which she viewed as the catalyst for the creation of her poetry.

Most people record the image of plants and animals at their peak.  My focus has been a little different with subjects chosen for what they have been through.  Plants and animals remain environmentally significant as they change, decay and disintegrate.  For me a dead or decaying plant or animal is just as much an object of beauty as it was at full maturity. - Sharon Field
