Amanda Johnson

Enclosure Acts: New Landscapes

Boom Gallery
Thursday 13 August – Saturday 5 September

"Enclosure Acts evokes the long-term environmental impacts of landgrabs and old-growth forest clearance, asking how landscape painting might symbolically ‘enclose’ and protect remnant forests. I live and work on Gadubanud Country, Cape Otway, on a Landcare property that has been decimated by introduced koalas and invasive plants. This country is front of mind when I enter the studio or undertake field trips.

My recent paintings of Gadubanud Country and Lutruwita evoke theatricalised, romantic forest grandeur while pointing to ecological disturbance in plain sight – depleted understoreys, soil compaction, ravaging blackberry, gorse and sweet pittosporum. These works stop short of evoking idealised wilderness vistas, though field trips to old-growth forests are an important part of my process. Here, forests often form seductive, painted curtains – forests that may or may not exist – framing a stripped central plain. Uncanny palettes subvert the gentle, optimistic skies typical of early colonial artists such as Streeton, Piguenit and von Guerard, whose images of settler holdings often concealed impacts of invasive species, extractive economies and the dispossession of First Nations peoples. As part of my studio process, I also map the vegetation profiles of early colonial paintings against contemporary ecological profiles, so that each work becomes a mash-up of past and present. For me, these beautiful colonial landscapes must now be responded to as images of erasure. The hyperreal sunsets are nothing if not cautionary. I think of each painting as a theatre of environmental mourning."
