Deidre Brollo is Visiting Artist at the National Art School, and acknowledges the support of the National Art School and Sydney College of the Arts.

‘Taking the long view: from a distance; or, in retrospect, through memory.
The uncertainty of place: memories, or provocations to it.
Recognitions, uncertainties; impressions in paper and ink.’
