The work submitted represents drawing as an attempt at haptic knowledge.
From an RAF surveillance photograph taken over a WW11 German naval base, a complex ink drawing is attempted as a way of decoding certain information from the image - a kind of analytic meditation on the potential meaning of an image sourced from the internet.
Can I now speak German?....No.
Do I now have insight into the nature of war?....No.
Do I now have an understanding of the image?....Yes.
For 35 years the Kedumba Drawing Award has been one of the pre-eminent awards for drawing in Australia. The addition of the $20,000 prize money will ensure that the Award continues to grow and build on its success for many years to come.
