"The Tasmanian landscape has the ability to imprint itself upon you,
which is great as you can take it with you where ever you go" - Tino Carnevale

NIGEL HEWITT

"I left Tasmania when I was a teenager and after four decades I have returned. Regardless of my displacement I have aimed to be involved, as much as I could, in environmental issues that have taken place here. On each of my visits I have been aware of the natural beauty juxtaposed with areas of complete devastation. For this image I have collected ash from Dunnalley. The ash is the middle ground; it represents the transformative quality of death in order to give birth to something else." - Nigel Hewitt

Nigel Hewitt is a visual artist based in Perth, Western Australia and Hobart. Tasmania. His images are most frequently mixed media on canvas, with subjects ranging from contemporary environmental and political issues to the personal and ambiguous notions of discovery and existence. Hewitt’s work is represented in the collections of the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Curtin University, Edith Cowan University, Artbank, SGIO, BankWest, Wesfarmers, Holmes a Court, and The Stein Collection, among many others.
