Jansen-Luke’s illustration formed part of her thesis, One of these is not like the other: Our mark on an eroding coastline, and her media for the 1600 x 600mm/2000 x 720mm artwork were aluminium plate, acid, ink and watercolour paper.
The judges noted that bringing together the subject matter (erosion) and the drawing methodology (erosion) has allowed for a beautiful and lengthy contemplation on the environment, transference, loss and production. “The aluminium plate and print are meditations on the eroding coastline in Abel Tasman National Park, which embed time into the works – physically, narratively and metaphorically.”
