"Escape
to freedom" by Anne Sawkins
1957
– 1960 National Art School, Sydney and Sydney Teachers College –
graduating as a visual arts teacher.
1961
– 1964 Taught Art in various NSW High Schools.
1974
– 2000 Taught Visual Arts in three ACT High Schools.
My
work for the exhibition “Drawnonward” evolved quite dramatically over
the last six months. I began with a series of ceramic boat forms –
firstly as a very black comment on the ‘boat people’ and their
horrific plight – and from there to happier associations with boats.
From these returned to printmaking, in particular monoprints and
monotypes, concentrating on surface texture and colour.
