ART EXPRESS HSC visual arts exhibition

The annual exhibition of HSC works of art included some unique, creative work from around Newcastle. It was presented in association with the NSW Department of Education and Training and the Officer of the Board of Studies NSW.

The above work was done by Holly Farrell from Warners Bay high school. The art work is called 24 rabbits. It is about the introduction of the European rabbit into Australia and its destructive effect it had on our environment. Holly attempts to establish the issue of preserving, preventing or exterminating introduced species, which according to her is important because she sympathises with rabbits.. I like the repetitive use of rabbits behind a thick, blood-red outline of a big rabbit to emphasize holly's idea of the destructive effect rabbit had on Australia's environment. The origami rabbits at the bottom are pretty cool to.
