David Frazer spent his childhood growing up amid the flat wheat fields of the Wimmera region in Victoria’s west. He felt himself an outsider, torn between a love for the region and a desperation to escape it.
According to the artist, 'I really wanted to write songs - really beautiful, sad songs. I tried, but I just couldn’t do it’. Instead, over several decades Frazer established himself as one of Australia’s finest print artists, working particularly in wood engraving and linocut.
This exhibition brings together a collection of Frazer’s work, offering visual form to the lyrics of some of his favourite songwriters and a reflection of the human experience of life, love, disappointment and hope.
