Farmscapes
This body of work forms one part of the dialogue between sisters Ronda and Wendy Teakel. Both artists are deeply interested in landscape and how it is managed through agriculture. Ronda works predominantly with acrylic paints and realistically depicts farm structures such as dams, fenced paddocks and the paddock inhabitants usually sheep or cattle. Wendy works with mixed media and exploits elemental forces in her creative processes, by scorching paper and birch panels and quenching them with water. She combines conventional media, including pastel and charcoal with these unconventional approaches to image making. Instagram @ronda_teakel and @teakelwendy
