Liam Wallbridge “Barb, the snags are on fire!”
My body of work is a politically and environmentally charged comment on consumerism, climate change and environmental disasters, including floods, bushfires, product waste, water and air pollution, coral bleaching and the endangerment of fauna. I focused on these issues because of their effect on individuals and communities within Australia. I hand sketched each panel then converted it into a digital file to add colour and line-art. I used the satirical style, vibrant colours and bold outlines of Pop-Art with the intent of engaging the audience and provoking thought about consumerism and environmental degradation.
