SALT OF THE EARTH
ART PARTNERS AUSTRALIA, 2020
Salt Of The Earth is an extension of Roche's recent solo exhibition, which investigated the natural world and the tension around how people experience and respond to it.
Some of the fear and anxiety from the recent bushfires has transferred itself into this body of work. However, this series, Salt Of The Earth, also celebrates the goodwill and fierce generosity of the Aussie folk. It recognises the selfless, gritty labour of the men and women who are out there physically helping rebuild communities.
Salt Of The Earth, oil, mixed media on canvas, 122 x 153 cm. Donated + auctioned off in response to the 2020 fires. Between the art auction + the Go Fund Me Page over $23,000 was raised for a local Adelong couple Nev + Lesely who were affected by the fires. Click here for more details
