WINNER, 2012 Corangamarah Art Prize
David Edgar announced as the winner of the 2012 Corangamarah Art Prize at the opening ceremony on 7 July 2012 at Otway Estate Winery and Brewery, Colac-Lavers Hill Road, Banongarook. The acquisitive prize worth $5,000 is awarded to a two dimensional artwork in any medium, which has been inspired by a happening or experience from the year preceding – a conceit.
In making her announcement, judge Robyn Burgess said that she was looking for technical excellence as well as interesting, original and intriguing subject matter. She felt Inner / Outer 3 had interesting ideas and was very well executed and presented.
David's artist statement on his entry said. "Each year I spend some time on a small island to escape every-day life and find myself again. When on the island I imagine myself out at sea looking back in on myself, the waves, fog, cliffs and the vastness that imprisons me and I slowly start to awaken again."
