Lucienne Rickard is a Tasmanian Artist and this is her portrait painted in 2021.
The orange was a nod to the threatened species the Orange-bellied parrot and Lucienne's role as a beacon in advocating for nature and those that are unable to articulate their vulnerabilities through human language.
Lucienne is an endurance artist committed to drawing and erasure. A picture once completed is then erased. The residue of presence holds the next erasure and this again repeats itself.
Katherine Johnson, acclaimed Tasmanian writer of Paris Savages says that Lucienne's work embodies the idea that art is work.
The idea of drawing and erasure mirrors that of evolution and extinction. Each drawing occurs on paper carrying the grey shades of before it like a fossil memory.
