GRAHAM WILSON

Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown) — Graham Wilson is a sculptor, painter and designer whose work has been exhibited within Australia and overseas. Graham Wilson's work titled Dove Lake dawn, a hand carved impression of this spectacular Tasmanian natural environment, has been selected as a finalist for the 2021 Wynne Prize. The work speaks to the impact the wilderness can have on human emotions. Graham Wilson has dedicated himself to his art practice for more than 30 years. I congratulate him on the selection of this outstanding artwork into this prestigious prize and acknowledge the honour of having this large scale work hung on the walls of the Art Gallery of NSW.
