Sanitised Landscapes, 2020 reflects an ongoing investigation into how landscape is seen, filtered, and re-presented through artistic practice. This body of work emerges from practice-led research developed during her studies and continued beyond the academic environment.

The works presented reduce the Tasmanian landscape to minimal gestures—horizons, tonal fields, and softened forms—removing descriptive detail and narrative cues. Through this process of visual reduction, landscape becomes less a depiction of place and more an exploration of perception and mediation. What remains is intentionally ambiguous: familiar yet distant, recognisable yet unresolved.

Material restraint plays a central role. Muted palettes, layered washes, and spare line work evoke land that has been visually “sanitised”—filtered through processes of selection, omission, and control. Framed cleanly and presented with deliberate spacing, the works emphasise containment and distance, reinforcing the idea of landscape as something observed rather than inhabited.

Presented at Not Just Paint through TUSA, Sanitised Landscapes offers a dialogue between emerging and established practices. As an alumni, The work acknowledges the formative role of art education while demonstrating how conceptual inquiry can extend beyond the studio and classroom into sustained, reflective practice. It invites viewers—particularly student artists—to consider how meaning is constructed not only through what is shown, but through what is withheld.
