During a three-day winter visit to the Tasmanian highlands, Drinkwater stayed in a pioneer’s hut clad with bark torn from local gums. A ream of French paper kicked out across the forest floor, creating a strange map from the combination of ink, charcoal and earth. This and other drawings done during the visit became the foundation for a larger suite of works, including The Last Light (2016), which will be shown in Singapore in February. ‘‘It’s always about place, although I like to blur that line between abstraction and figuration,’’ says the artist. - John McDonald, senior art critic, The Sydney Morning Herald
