About this Artwork

I was sent a view of Mt Edith Cavell in Canada. I thought maybe I can do a ‘that was then this is now’ image. I found the view, it looks much the same, the road is paved and the trees are a bit more substantial.

Why is there a mountain named after Edith Cavell?

Well, Edith Cavell was a fierce brave woman. An English Nurse; she was recruited in 1907 to run a nursing school in Belgium. She was a humanitarian. When Belgium was occupied during WW1 she joined the Belgian Resistance and helped people flee to neutral Holland. She was arrested, court martialed and executed in 1915, causing ‘waves if revulsion throughout the civilised world’. She was the first female commoner to have a state funeral at Westminster Abbey. She has lots of monuments dedicated to her, and quite a gruesome 1915 stamp.

But I still didn’t know why Canada chose a mountain, so I started looking at the environment, the terrain, tracks, topography and started realising that this is a fierce mountain and should not be underestimated.

My image is a topographical view of Mt Edith Cavell. The Road to Edith is illuminated in Sterling Silver Glitter. I have given some stats on the mountain so you are prepared. Smashes Treasuries Wholesaler is the what3words grid reference for the peak and the QR code will take you to the peakvisor.com 3D view of Mt Edith Cavell.

So, you can really see how fierce the mountain is.

About Paula
I am a printmaker based in Melbourne – I explore multiple themes such as – connection to people and place, connection between people, memory, loss, desire. Sometimes I just try and look for the meditative state of being – the art just exists. I try and evoke an emotive and intellectual response with my work. I try but it is ever evolving

I became enamoured with the intrinsic language of printmaking early on, the deconstruction and reconstruction processes of making prints and the fact that at every juncture there are numerous options available. Printmaking has the ability to morph industrial techniques into a fine art images, appropriate contemporary imaging techniques, doesn’t discriminate between the photographic and autographic mark and allows the artist to move freely between all print mediums

In my art practice I have taken advantage of the permeable lines that exist between print techniques to develop my language as an artist. Dependent on the facilities available, my circumstances, my focus and intent I make etchings, screenprints, digital images, installations that include sounds and visuals, lithographs and relief work.
