Born in Walcha and now based in Sydney, Gemma received a BFA from the National Art School in Darlinghurst, majoring in Printmaking.
In this series Gemma brings back the fictional character, Old Bob. Says Gemma of Old Bob: ”…grungy linework and dark humour that comes with Old Bob. I've used him as a way to explore my more personal internal struggles on and off over the years.He came about in drawing class way back in art school in 2010, he's served my artistic process countless times, he may seem down trodden but he is a survivor!The more I've learnt about psychology, the more I realise how important he is. When there's light, he's behind me, He's my shadow.”

Gemma King, is a local Walcha artist specialising in Printmaking. She has returned to the farm and Walcha after travelling abroad and completing her BFA at National Art School, Darlinghurst.
Gemma’s recent work is inspired by the ever changing rural landscape that surrounds her. Working predominantly in the reduction linocut printmaking medium, Gemma aims to separate her work from the traditional format of printmaking by exclusively creating one-off/unique prints, making no test prints or editions.
Each reduction print has been treated as its own work with its own colour combination. This way of working helps her to fully explore the subject and the effects that colour composition can achieve.
Being a farmer, Gemma will often see views of her farm changing dramatically depending on light, season, rain and wind; this idea of the one landscape being depicted in an array of moods sits well with her understanding of the land and its transient nature.
FLOCK
This collection of 23 single-plate reduction linocut monoprints have all been made simultaneously over the course of 9 months, with careful focus in making each work with its own colourway throughout the lengthy process to ensure each works singularity.
The images drawn from photos taken over the past 2 years during various grazier stints on my families’ sheep and cattle farm in Walcha, NSW. The daily procession, finding fresh water and shelter for the flock with their differing needs in various seasons holds new meaning, distance and separation has gilded the simple routine. In a world where technology and mass production takes us further from the beauty of craftsmanship, I find myself ever drawn the long process of the hand-made, hand-carved lino print.
