2021 WINNERS

LRMYAA 2021 Winner
Xanthe Muston
Charge of the Forgotten Relics
2021
Gouache, watercolour, texta, crayon and stickers on paper.
"This artwork is striking, confident and resolved. There is a forward march, the movement of the subject stepping through the journey from childhood to adolescence and beyond - the approach is as playful as the subject matter. The composition is the strength of this work, and incredibly confident. It's as much a strength as the technical execution and the experimentation with materiality, which really reflects the subject matter. It's joyful, congratulations Xanthe."
- Kelly McDonald, Guest Judge
(Assistant Director & Senior Curator, Mosman Art Gallery)

2021 Highly Commended
Eva Nolan
Bumblebee, Hummingbird and Bat Flower
2019
Graphite pencil on paper, acrylic frame
"This work is an act of care for an imagined landscape. In her artist’s statement, Eva talks about the ‘ecofeminist ethics of care’ and this work embodies that especially when you consider the amount of hours spent labouring over its construction. This was an act of care. The artist employs a high degree of technical proficiency to produce an intricate, highly detailed work that is deserving of your close attention."

2021 Commended
Lucinda Bird
Untitled 1
2019
Copper plate etching
"Lucinda’s work is a nostalgic look at her childhood home. But, somehow the work has a quietness, and a strength. It is textured and layered as memories are - distant with gaps and imperfections. It is an excellent stand alone work, with so much left unsaid. We felt that it was a very powerful work"
