Marian Hosking has interpreted the Australian landscape through silver jewellery and vessel work for over 50 years. In this new body of work, she returns to important Victorian environments: specific heathlands, beaches and forests from East Gippsland to the Grampians. These are places that have informed earlier work, and in returning to them, Marian re-engages with their changes and their fragile beauty.
