The work: Anita Laurence, Where the Rivers Meet. Linocut, 56 x 76cm. Courtesy: the artist.

Surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards, the picturesque town of Wangaratta in north east Victoria is filled to the brim with rustic charm. The love that Anita Laurence feels for the place is palpable in her works, wherein she renders familiar landmarks in print and paint. In Where the Rivers Meet we see what is almost a family portrait of the town, with each house bestowed with its own personality, placed in neat lines beneath the curving Poodumbia (King River) where it meets the Torryong (Ovens River). To anyone familiar with the town, each and every building – as well as many natural features, down to clusters of stumps and bends in the river – would be recognisable, their features delicately picked out on a micro scale. Her use of monochromatic lino printing gives the vista a sense of unity, the tiny forms of trees and fields rendered in the same colour and style as the elegant frontages, producing a harmonious whole. This spot on the river has been a significant site for generations, and is still an important meeting place for the Bpangerang people, who have lived according to the ebb and flow of the river. Anita’s affection for this stunning place shines through in the deliberate lines and curves that make up this piece, doing justice to the special nature of place.
