Alex Seton’s practice is synonymous with marble, in its material potential and meaning. ‘The Great Escape’ is inspired by four places, the Wombeyan Caves and quarry, which at first appears to spin a comic-tragic tribute to his medium but is an homage to a personal history of finding a sense of place, Guineacor Creek and ‘Greenhood’ an off-grid home, where adventure was coupled with dreams of the ‘big city’.
