Description
Jan Hendrix: Paradise Lost
This collection brings together works by international artist Jan Hendrix over two decades, exploring his response to Australia's Botany Bay landscape and the legacy of Sir Joseph Banks. The book features a range of media, including silkscreen, sculpture, and moving image.
The historical context for Hendrix's work is rooted in the plant samples collected by Banks during the HMS Endeavor expedition in 1770. Today, the area is vastly transformed from its pristine state, with climate change posing a significant threat to the native flora and fauna.
