Curated by Rilka Oakley, ‘As far as the eye can see’ celebrates the contemporary topography of both landscape and printmaking. From Aboriginal desert storytellers and knowledge keepers, through the regional experience of World Heritage sites and journeys from city to country, to the urban printmaker’s challenge of speaking up in the face of climate change and mining, 22 artists express their individual relationships to the land through a variety of print media, describing both the vast scale and the intimate detail of our diverse natural environment and portraying Australia’s unique and varied geography – coastal, mountain, desert and island terrain. A Blue Mountains City Art Gallery touring exhibition supported by Visions of Australia.
