Artist Statement

Kingston Foreshore to Mount Ainslie, Autumn by Jennifer Baird.

Inspired by an Autumn day by Kingston Foreshore. I have used woven chopstick covers for the rocks and collage of various found papers. It shows my love for minimalist Japanese and Chinese art. The plastic bag was perfect for the grey water of Lake Burley Griffin.
