BODY (Self) is a series of performance and installation works that began during an artist residency at Hill End in 2010, initially forming part of the Illumination series (2012). Using the body within the landscape, the works explore physical presence, vulnerability and the symbiotic relationship between the human body and the natural environment.

Wildēornes Land #3 - Grose Valley, 2017

“In Wildēornes Land #3 something has shifted. Nature is no longer secure. With climate change the big scary wilderness has lost its power. Welch occupies the same position as Casper David Friedrich’s confident wanderer, immaculate in 18th century gentleman suit, surveying the mighty realm. Welch by contrast, in mourning garb, offers herself, naked and sacrificial, to a world on the brink of being lost.” Dr Ann Finegan Wildēornes Land Catalogue essay pigment print, face-mounted 80 x 142cm edition of 6 Provenance: (Finalist) Grace Cossington Smith art award 2018, Grace Cossington Smith Gallery, 3 to 24 November 2018 MAY SPACE Sydney, 2017 Wildēornes Land, Blue Mountains Cultural Centre, 1 April to 7 May 2017.
