This talk will consider the ways landscape has expanded and contracted in response to new ideas about the world, and how it has come to be central to my current practice.<\/p><p>In a country as urbanised as Australia there is a paradox in our desire to visually depict landscape as separate from everyday experience \u2013 the Heidelberg School famously caught the train to paint their pastoral idylls.<\/p><p>For me it is this discomfort with our place in this country that feeds the enduring power of landscape art. It is also, given the truly astonishing environments we live in and at the margins of, a huge joy and privilege to be able to depict them through the medium of print.\u201d<br \/>Damon Kowarsky<\/p><p>Damon Kowarsky | Equinox Printmakers | Sharon Greenaway | Dianne Longley | special guest David Frazer<\/p><p><strong>VENUE<\/strong> Buda Garden Room<br \/><strong>DATE<\/strong> Friday 31 March<br \/><strong>TIME<\/strong> 5pm<br \/><strong>DURATION<\/strong> 90 minutes<br \/><strong>ADMISSION<\/strong> $25\/$22<br \/><strong>ACCESSIBILITY\u00a0<\/strong> Wheelchair access<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-519476b elementor-section-height-min-height ticket elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"519476b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;waves&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-top\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M421.9,6.5c22.6-2.5,51.5,0.4,75.5,5.3c23.6,4.9,70.9,23.5,100.5,35.7c75.8,32.2,133.7,44.5,192.6,49.7\n\tc23.6,2.1,48.7,3.5,103.4-2.5c54.7-6,106.2-25.6,106.2-25.6V0H0v30.3c0,0,72,32.6,158.4,30.5c39.2-0.7,92.8-6.7,134-22.4\n\tc21.2-8.1,52.2-18.2,79.7-24.2C399.3,7.9,411.6,7.5,421.9,6.5z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6c93df2 ticketBtm\" data-id=\"6c93df2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff2d658 align-at-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-uael-faq\" data-id=\"ff2d658\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"uael-faq.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<div id='uael-faq-wrapper-267' class=\"uael-faq-wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-faq-container uael-faq-layout-accordion\" data-layout=\"accordion\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"uael-accordion-c7ad532\" class=\"uael-faq-accordion\" role=\"tablist\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class= \"uael-accordion-title\" aria-expanded=\"false\" role=\"tab\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uael-accordion-icon uael-accordion-icon-left\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uael-accordion-icon-closed\"><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uael-accordion-icon-opened\"><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"uael-question-c7ad532 uael-question-span\" tabindex=\"0\" id=\"uael-faq-1\">BUY <br>TICKETS<\/h1>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-accordion-content\" role=\"tabpanel\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><script async src=\"https:\/\/tix.castlemainefestival.com.au\/js\/FTAPI.js?h=6f161067d9f14dfb9bc0c55417889236&amp;u=https:\/\/tix.castlemainefestival.com.au\/&amp;s=https:\/\/tix.castlemainefestival.com.au\/&amp;itemHash=92a112de6bce48b3829745b1d920bacd&amp;checkout=false&amp;ftapi=true\" id=\"ft_ftapiJS\"><\/script><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d430401 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"d430401\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-bc2b595\" data-id=\"bc2b595\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34c5d09 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"34c5d09\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>COPPER ETCHING WITH DAMON KOWARSKY<\/h3><p>Weekend workshop to learn the basics of intaglio printmaking [etching] on copper. Etching on copper is one of the oldest forms of printmaking. Invented in Germany in the 15th century, it has since been used by masters including Du\u0308rer, Rembrandt, Goya, Picasso, Hockney, and many others. It is very close to drawing, and is a rewarding way to create multiple images in a medium with a rich history and dynamic<br \/>contemporary practice. Over the two day workshop participants will learn the basics of copper etching. This includes etching with ferric chloride and printing on cotton paper with high quality ink. Participants will draw in the wonderful gardens at Buda, and make their etching directly from their drawings.<\/p><p><strong>VENUES <br \/><\/strong>Sat 1 April: Buda Garden Room<br \/>Sun 2 April: Equinox Press.
