Waterhouse Prize

The Waterhouse is for artworks in natural history. It is put on by the SA Museum in Adelaide. I managed to find some time to visit the exhibition this afternoon.

It was by far the most provocative work.

My other favourite was this sculpture composed from found driftwood:

What was most striking was the diversity of media and approaches. Most celebrated nature rather than addressed what was happening to it.
