2010 Finalist

Maureen WilliamsSt Kilda, Victoria, Australia



Altered State #7


Blown glass and paint
29 H x 35 W x 14.5 D cm


This work uses personal narrative to express an altered view. The painting reflects my abstract notion of reality as imagery. It is concerned with the juxtaposition of nature, man’s imposition on nature and relationship between man and the land. Imaginary views are linked with real views and altered.


Photographer: David McArthur
