Music and lyrics rendered into landscape paintings.

The paintings in Symbiosis have been fully inspired by eclectic pieces of music and lyrics that were provided by some of Hobart’s prominent musicians. The submissions, which range from electric compositions and improvised piano to vocal harmonies and written poetry and lyrics, are all expressions from the musicians as they considered their ideas and feelings about Tasmania’s natural landscape.

Caitlin Love is captivated by Tasmania’s diverse and rich natural environment, so it is fitting that the musical pieces she used to inspire the works are just as diverse and rich. Each artwork generated imagery, colour pallets and memories for Caitlin, and she was able to explore Southern Tasmania for appropriate locations to paint from. The artworks have taken Caitlin on road trips, a 4am mission to the summit of kunanyi/Mt Wellington for the sunrise, and a 25km hike at Tasmania’s most southerly point.  

Symbiosis is the interaction between two different organisms living together. These artworks would not exist without the music they were inspired by, and indeed they are enriched by the music, lyrics, emotion and imaginings of the musicians they were made by. The art and music give life and meaning to one another.
