Melinda Schawel | Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing

Congratulations to Melinda Schawel, a Finalist in the Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing, for her stunning work, ‘Night Moves’. This year, judge, Dr Felicity Fenner, observed how many entries held a mirror to the catastrophic events of the day (particularly in reference to the bushfires of 2019 / 2020) and well articulate society’s feelings in response. Contributing to this conversation, Schawel’s work invites us to contemplate and explore microscopic elements of ecosystems, which may be under threat. For further information about the prize, please click here.
