These prints reference various aspects of the natural landscape of Flinders Island and the St Helens region. The biodiversity of each of these sites is influenced by environmental shifts and changes, which in turn creates layers through which they can be viewed and interpreted.

ARTIST STATEMENt

The underlying concept to the glazed door design relates to a suggestion of natural forms in suspension - hovering, waiting, moving and shifting. A state the patients of the clinic are experiencing in their own lives. The lines and marks within the ovoid shape reference the journey taken by each individual and the undulating rhythms of that journey.

The continuation of elements of this design along the internal walls of the airlock involve lines and shapes slightly overlapping and connecting with one another to represent the integrated relationship of understanding and cooperation required between those working in the clinic, the patients and the visitors.
