Gabi McDonald: The Yard and Beyond Exhibition for July

The human experience of place is central to ways that people live in the world, a way of seeing the world mediated by the culture to which we belong. The external space is as important as the inside of the home and tells a lot about the people who live there.  

(Tim Creswell)

In my body of work I have entered into people’s personal space - their

backyard - and have explored how individuals of different ages and

background construct and inhabit this space that is so important in our

culture, particularly in a town like Mildura, where the climate is mild

enough for outdoor living most of the year. These images form a

narrative about who the person is and their lifestyle in this rural country

town.

Artist Statement

Stepping out of my house and into the streets of Mildura, the nature

strips and plants that adorn the centre of the roads are predominantly

eucalypts of various species. This move by the council over many

years is strategic in merging the City with the majestic red gums of the

riverfront, which give Mildura its unique environment. How can this be

transformed into Art?

I use the bark and leaves of eucalyptus to give colour and imprints to

my textile works. A process that I call Eco-Alchemy, reflecting the

natural environment.
