MARK STONER: THE SHAPE OF THE LAND
UNTIL APRIL 16
“The shape of land is evocative of our imaginings of landscape and poses several questions. What is land, its form and material? Do we imagine verdant rolling hills, an infrared mineralogical survey map, a topographical map of the high country, or a degraded saline ancient drainage basin? Is landscape a romantic vista of plains and far off mountain peaks or an analytical outcome of complex interactions of time, geomorphic forces and weathering?” - Mark Stoner 2013. This exhibition explores these themes bringing together various installation pieces for the first time. Mark Stoner has exhibited nationally and has received several grants and residencies. His work is held in the collections of state and regional galleries including the National Gallery of Australia and he has also completed many public commissions.
