We would like to congratulate Mary-Lynne Stratton for being selected as a finalist for her artwork Deluge and Rising Monolith in this years The Jury Prize. Artist Statement - This work is a comment on the unusually frequent and severe weather events that we now seem to experience. Last year I travelled to the Murchison after a particularly wet period and climbed several monolithic rocks where I experienced being surrounded by vast expanses of water. The sodden soil made me imagine this monolith rising up from the ground and floating away. High water levels after heavy rain made me think more about climate change and the effects in our country of severe flooding. The Jury Art Prize 2022 can now be viewed in the heart of Perth’s CBD, Yagan Square. If you are in the city, be sure to check out the amazing work showcased in this year’s exhibition.
