Weedicide

The creative work was selected for public gallery exhibition on the basis of innovation in print practice. As the title of the exhibition outlines, it is an international exhibition with national competitivity. My creative work brings new knowledge to the fine art printing process by applying textile plantdye fixing to printing on paper and is concurrent with recent thinking about image capture in relation to art and science, exemplified by the British Library publication 'Impressions of Nature' by Roderick Cave, 2010. My method adds to this published range of possibilties in the field. One of 3 peer review judges, Jason Smith, Curatorial Manager at Queensland Art Gallery/Gallery of Modern Art was "especially impressed by the rich conceptual and aesthetic range within which the finalists are working" (catalogue ISBN 978-0-9875380-8-6). The 2 other judges were Raymond Arnold and Helen Wright who have national and international standing as practitioners in the field.

该创意作品凭借版画创作实践中的创新特质，成功入选公共美术馆展览。正如展览标题所昭示的，本次展览是兼具国家级竞争力的国际专业展事。本作品通过将纺织品植物染料固色技术应用于纸张印刷流程，为美术版画创作工艺带来了全新的认知维度；同时契合当下艺术与科学交叉融合的图像创作思潮，该思潮可参考2010年罗德里克·凯夫（Roderick Cave）于大英图书馆出版的专著《自然印象（Impressions of Nature）》作为佐证。我的创作方法为该领域已公开的创作可能性范畴拓展了新的边界。本次评审团共有三位同行评审专家，其中杰森·史密斯（Jason Smith）为昆士兰美术馆/现代美术馆（Queensland Art Gallery/Gallery of Modern Art）策展经理，他评价道："特别为入围创作者在创作中展现出的丰富概念与美学层次所折服"（展览目录ISBN：978-0-9875380-8-6）。其余两位评委雷蒙德·阿诺德（Raymond Arnold）与海伦·赖特（Helen Wright）均为该领域内兼具国内与国际影响力的专业从业者。
