Anzac Day 2022. Lest we Forget Artwork : Finalis Anzac Day 2022. Lest we Forget 

Artwork : Finalist in 2022

JULIE HUTCHINGS

The Anzac Spirit shines

Mixed media on canvas

76 x 60cm

The slouch hat and rising sun badge are the epitome of the Anzac spirit…it is very much part of my family history.  My father wore one when he served in WW2 and my son in the reserves.

In 2018 I travelled to the battlefields of WW1 to France & Belgium as an art project.  My two great uncles both indigenous never returned from the war.  Christopher Gage is buried in Belgium and now after being identified 103 years later his brother Charles has a proper grave with headstone instead of his name on the memorial wall at Villers-Bretonneux.

For this art prize, I glued extracts from a book titled “Walking with the Anzacs” to primed canvas.  I wanted the hat to stand out as weathering the horrors of war, however I wanted the Rising Sun badge to stay shiny & bright as if representing new beginnings and hope for the future.

DEIRDRE BEAN

Along the ride to Damascus

Oil on canvas

58 x 120cm

In 1918 following the battle at Beersheba, allied forces including Australian Light Horse battalions advanced towards Damascus, the last stronghold of the Turks. At this time, the Light Horse, at their request, were issued with swords requiring weeks of intensive cavalry training adding to their existing impressive skills. Historians have written of the battle at Quneitra on 28th September where The Australian Light Horse, with swords drawn, attacked the Circassion cavalry, killing, wounding and taking prisoners. Two days later, the Light Horse charged the Ottomans ‘with the sword’ causing the terrified enemy to turn and run.

Today, this Light Horse sword, scabbard and leather-bound whale bone whip are stored safely and securely, and presented only on occasion. It has been my art practice in recent years to rediscover items such as these: precious, meaningful items that are locked away and in danger of being forgotten. My ambition is to ‘relove’ them by bringing them briefly into the light and, with careful handling, reimagine them in paint on canvas. This sword now has a new alternative life. The stories it evokes are retold, conversations are had, and information shared. We remember, lest we forget.
