Noela Stratford - Territory: Selected works 2000-2010

Territory presents a selection of large-scale charcoal drawings which Noela Stratford has been produced in response to different landscapes, ranging from swirling mists on a sacred Thai mountain and enigmatic Hanging Rock, shrouded in mystery and intrigue, to Milford Sound in New Zealand, where billowing mists blur and obscure the massive forms of rock and foliage.

These multiple-panelled images explore the ways in which rich black spaces and soft billowing mists can surround mysterious shapes and inhabit familiar places. Each work has been shaped by direct experience of each place.

Noela Stratford is a Bendigo-based artist with an international reputation, whose work is represented in numerous Australian public collections and in private collections in Australia Thailand, New Zealand, England and the USA.
