ROSIE HASTIE WINS HENRY JONES ART PRIZE

2022

Congratulations to Rosie Hastie, winner of the Henry Jones Art Prize.  Rosie's winning work Once 1, which was informed by Peter Dombrovskis’ iconic Morning Mist, Rock Island Bend, Franklin River,  beat a strong field of 124 entries to take out the $20,000 prize.

 

Once asks the viewer to consider the fragility of iconic Tasmanian locations.

 

Once, a synthetic photo of a photo, is a satirical comment on tourism – a final confirmation that everything is now marketable – even our most wild of places. At the rate humans are consuming place as a product, this site will imminently be uninhabitable by all life, asking the questions of who will be around to see it? We need reminding that protection is needed more than visitation,”
