Abstract

In February 2009 Judy Watson was appointed artist-in-residence at The University of Queensland’s Heron Island Research Station. Watson’s residency coincided with the official launch of the Research Station, rebuilt after being destroyed by a devastating fire in 2007.

heron island suite is the first major suite of etchings by the artist. Of the twenty-one proofs exhibited at UQ Art Museum for the artist’s exhibition Heron Island twenty were selected for the heron island suite.

The artist has altered a number of plates by re-working and overlaying them with research charts by scientists: Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, Dr Bradley Congdon and Dr Kathy Townsend.
