Winning Prize:
'Burnt Landscape' by Geoff Harvey
Acrylic & Charcoal on Board 97 x 120
Artist Statement This picture is sombre, charm, still & painted with a limited pallet. It is the aftermath of a bushfire & it reveals the haunting beauty of the land after a devastating fire. It is one of a series I have been working on which depicts the cycles of the land from bushfire to regeneration.Second Prize:
'Infinity' by Hyun-Hee Lee
Hanji, Ink & Silk Thread 95 x 95
Artist Statement Infinity pursues the notion that life is a circle; what happens today can be traced to something that has happened in the past. In Buddhism this is known as Kama which evokes the spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent and actions of an individual (cause) influence the future of that individual (effect). I was inspired in this work by personal experience which enabled me to understand the enduring value of giving love. I've written and then hand embroidered in my own personal script onto three layered sheets of Hanji paper dyed with ink. The thread lines I use in my work continue the repetitive act and imply infinity and a connection to the life cycle. 
Highly Commended:
'Working Harbour' by Susanna Chen Chow
Ink & Charcoal 63 x 90
Artist Statement This is one of a series of drawings that I have been working on for sometime.It captures the past, Sydney Harbour as a working harbour which has been lost.
