Walking into a mysterious world of ecology, the real and the ephemeral. / by Mark Edwards

On 25 May 2022, I installed a new work in building 50 Orr st Carlton, in my home town of Melbourne. Titled ‘Prawns on the Menu’ I have chosen the gallery space as a site to emphasise the juxtaposition of these paintings printed on sheer cotton voile they emphasise the fragility of interacting through the landscape (mangroves, salt farms and prawns/shrimps) valuable and often abused resources, for the production of the almighty dollar. As humans, it is our responsibility to save the planet not deplete it.
