The Sap Rises | Dennis McCart
Ink, graphite, charcoal, watercolour pens and pencils, spray paint on watercolour paper
Height: 95cm. Width: 95cm.
My drawing developed from staying at Boobarran Ngummin, Bunya Mountains. I discovered that these ancient bunya forests are in peril due to Phytophthoras pathogen. Humans carry this deadly pathogen which threaten this ancient forest. The drawing uses frottage and scraping techniques to convey the mystery and symbolism of the subject.
McCart’s practice examines the tension between humans' instinctive connection to nature and the ever-increasing signs of detachment. Repetition, remembrance, and recreation are key components in his artworks. McCart has been highly regarded for his work which is a part of both private and public collections and selected in exhibitions throughout Australia.
