Encroachment

By  Ann Goddard 2024

I'm thrilled that my piece ‘Encroachment’ has been selected to be included in the International Art Textile Biennale 2025. The exhibition will tour to six galleries in Australia during 2025 /26.

The artwork is a wall based, sculptural, mixed-media relief. It reflects my concern for the environment and the impact human activity is having on ecosystems and biodiversity. The dense tangle of spiky paper cord, alludes to the natural world – unruly and teeming with life. In contrast, the organic forms give way to featureless roofing felt representing the construction industry, relentlessly replacing nature. The piece aims to highlight the delicate balance between progress and preservation in our rapidly changing world.
