GALLERYPRINTS: NINE VIEWS OF MOUNT CANOBOLAS This work continues my preoccupation with the passage of time – the great age of this country and how it endures despite the enormous changes that it has undergone. Mount Canobolas is one of the main symbols of the Orange area and I used the central mass of the mountain to convey this sense of continuity – while the land use and seasons change, the mountain remains constant and impassive. The use of a series of views of the mountain also draws oblique parallels, albeit ironic, with one of the great works of classical Japanese printmaking – Hokusai's Thirty-Six Views of Mt Fuji. There are two versions of this work. The first version, Nine Views of Mount Canobolas, was produced for the 150th anniversary of the City of Orange – the artist's proof is in the permanent collection of the Orange Regional Gallery. The second version, Printhie – Nine Views of Mount Canobolas, undertaken for Printhie Wines, also in the Orange area, comprises two new works and the reworking of seven images from the earlier work.
