About the Work
"This
landscape
connects
directly
to
my
rural
background
and
upbringing.
Instantly,
I
feel
as
if
I
am
about
to
muster
this
small
mob
with
one
of
the
old
farm
dogs.
Being
a
member
of
Marton
Young
Farmers
Club,
it’s
a
rather
nice
coincidence
this
landscape
is
from
the
area.
It’s rather unfortunate about the way Edith Collier’s more ‘modernistic’ art was received when she returned from Europe after World War One, but I guess someone had to pave the way. We really are fortunate that the Sarjeant is the custodian of the Edith Collier Trust collection for our community. (To find out more I’d really suggest watching the documentary Edith Collier: A Light Among Shadows)."
