Amanda Thompson Solo Exhibition Demolition
ARTIST STATEMENT My solo exhibition titled ‘Demolition’, held at ARC, Yinnar in September this year.
This body of work is centred on the process of pulling apart Hazelwood Power Station.
I worked from photographs which I took of various stages and aspects of the process of demolition.
As a long term resident of Latrobe Valley, I am used to heavy industry being part of the landscape.
In this body of work, I have used the technique of drypoint mostly, as I find it suggests the grimy agedness of these old industrial landmarks.
I have worked as usual, large scale to commemorate Hazelwood’s imposing size.
With my drawing style, combined with the drypoint technique, I have attempted to pay tribute to a now vanished industrial landmark.
Amanda Thompson.
