WANDERING AND WONDERING

Ana Pollak is an Australian artist who is currently exhibiting her work at Defiance Gallery. Her passion is the Australian landscape where she spends time wandering in the arid land. Her focus for her exhibition is her love of the Desert Oak found in the mid section of her country.
She writes:
“The ancient Desert Oaks of Central Australia are remarkably resilient, capable of living for over 1,000 years. They endure extreme droughts by effectively shutting down, extending their roots up to 15 metres deep in search of water, reducing evaporation with their needle-like foliage.”
Her images reflect her passion, her curiosity, her discoveries and her personal connection to these special trees and landscape.
As the viewer, I am drawn into and fall in love with the dusty diffuse lighting, the interconnection of forms and shapes and the sense of being enveloped in the mystery of a sacred space. and
My experience of life and the world is enriched and expanded by her wanderings, her wonder and how she comingles these into personally deep and meaningful art.
