I am often thinking of the spaces between things; the humming transfer of invisible matter; energy released by plants, the thick unseen net of communication like the chatter of text messages - Winsome Jobling, Catalogue essay, 2018
Jobling will also participate in BOAA’s nation-wide commission Great Australian Landscape Project featuring selected State and Territory artists who will interpret the Australian landscape across an 8m long scale. For this commission Jobling, has created Cloudscape, uniquely made using recycled photocopy toner on paper.
Jobling has been assisted with a Presentation and Promotion Grant from the NT Government in order to pursue gallery representation interstate.
