“Only when the Last Tree Dies” by Peter Biram

Tuesday 1 September - Friday 2 October

Peter’s current body of work is exploring the theme of ‘land ownership’ and ‘usage’ within an environmental framework.

Furthermore, exploring the notion of human impact on the natural environment, and juxtaposing indigenous and non-indigenous influences regarding the effects of environmental issues, when relating to the Australian landscape and landscape painting.
