“There are four strands of work in the exhibition: A series of seven Survey Drawings 2014, made with glass, ink and beeswax; six digital prints made from the Survey Drawings; five larger glass panels, made with glass, ink and beeswax; and two logbooks consisting of an artist’s book and a scroll, made from digital prints on Belgian Linen and bound in leather. As inspiration for her recent exhibition: LIVING WATER: the river hid, Annique Goldenberg kayaked on the Wilson River and Leycester Creek, the City of Lismore’s hidden river system. She travelled the waterways at different times of the day and week in all kinds of weather, experiencing the changing colours and texture of the river. The river was both familiar and mysterious to her, it might have been a parallel universe. Photographic, aural and physical material gathered on these expeditions was taken back to the studio, where she used her reflections on this evidence to first create drawings with ink, river water ice, glass and beeswax and then digital prints and artist books stemming from the original drawings. The resulting transformative works represent a collaboration between the artist, the environment and the materials she uses. Loose and evocative, they reinterpret the mood and memory of the river, and allow space for us to meander outside this, to wonder at the miracle of nature and our instinct to understand it” – Annique Goldenberg
