The meeting place of our life lines – sometimes the wrong way is the right way.

I have admired Larissa MacFarlane’s work for a long time now – ever since I first spotted it for sale on the walls of a local cafe. I already knew Larissa having met her through a mutual friend and had no idea she was the artist. I am glad I put two and two together and, with genuine admiration, could tell Larissa how much I loved her work. MacFarlane_L_The plastic gyre of port phillip-smaller Larissa’s work is sometimes whimsical and sketchy and sometimes bold and graphic as she uses a range of printmaking techniques which determine these stylistic variations. Her themes seem to focus on journeys and aloneness. There are often inner city, industrial influences and her most recent body of work, black and white lino cuts, focusses on train tracks and city scapes. Controlled, balanced and stark, yet curvy and purposeful. MacFarlane_L_under the bolte- sm Larissa is one of the contributing artists for the Greeves St. project. She very kindly donated a range of images for us to choose from, to be printed on to a greeting card. Thank you Lara, from the Gatehouse community.
