The landscape can change in minutes in Lutruwita Tasmania’s southwest. Mountain ranges disappear into cloud, tannin-stained creeks surge, and familiar contours shift as fronts roll in from the Southern Ocean; within these constantly changing conditions, Tasmania-based Clifford How developed works for this show, which marks his debut solo at the gallery.
Beginning each work in the field, back in the studio richly textured surfaces are built with palette knives and brushes. Observations remain central – distilled and reworked through paint.
