Although she left Melbourne in 1969 and is now included among New York’s artistic elite, Green considers herself an Australian artist.
She recalls that “memories of Bendigo from childhood are connected to the surrounding landscape, particularly the waterholes made of dams and springs”.
These memories find their way into her latest works currently on show at the La Trobe University Visual Arts Centre.
Snippets of Green’s rhythmic abstract drawings are woven through unrelated photographs of Muckleford’s dams.
Juxtaposed with her formal paper collages and large emotive paintings, these new works are indicative of Green’s inquisitive and continually evolving practice.
