Printmaking - etching, 'Kangaroo Bones, Broken Crockery, Drought' by Anne McMaster, 2008

Historical information

Anne McMaster (1959- )
Born Melbourne

Artists' Statement: In the thick of drought kangaroos perish and farmers walk off the land. All that is left are bones and broken crockery. Overlaid images prompt the observer to question the Anglo-Saxon relationship to country, to that of indigenous tribes. Foul biting and earthy colours bring attention to the weathered landscape of Australia.
