Abstract

Replant is an excursion through the eyes of six artists into the remarkable world of plants.

This exciting folio of limited edition etchings explores the unique characteristics of species that survive and prosper through the climatic extremes of monsoonal rains, dry weather and wild fires in northern Australia. Cultural stories, plant use and scientific knowledge are distilled together in an acutely observed survey of flora in the Top End.

Replant artists are: Fiona Hall, Judy Watson, Debra Wurrkidj, Winsome Jobling, Marita Sambono, Irene Mungatopi and photographer Peter Eve [Gallery media, 2009]
