"My work has always been about the landscape and the people who inhabit the land in which I live, whether it is the colours, textures, forms, seasons, whatwe are doing to it by our presence, the natural phenomenom such as willy willys or ancient markings upon it. All these things filter through our subconscious and I am constantly referencing this information and questioning its origins.
Since moving to Broken Hill in Austrailia two and a half years ago my work has shifted considerably and expanded to fill this landscape. The pieces are reflecting the colours and the forms of this amazing country that I find so stimulating. The vastness, the crystal clearness, the red dirt and so much sky I find so inspiring and uplifting. To stand on the edge of it brings things back into perspective for me. The heat of the summer when everything shimmers, the quiet beside the river at Wilcannia create a calming effect.
A lot of the materials I have used in these pieces come from my immediate environment, from friends, the green waste at the tip, bark from Silverton, palm sheaths collected on walks around Broken Hill." - Virgina Kaiser
