"130 Davey Street" is an installation comprised of marker pen drawings on whiteboards which arose from the artist's attempts to work both as an artist and activist with the Wilderness Society during 2004-05. The work is based on photographs taken in the Wilderness Society's national headquarters in Hobart during this period, and operates artistically as a portrait of this significant Tasmanian organisation, and as a reflection on the notion of the picturesque within Tasmanian art and the contested politics of its landscape.Raquel Ormella is one of Australia's leading contemporary artists and works across video, painting, drawing and installation. Through her unique art practice she investigates the intersections of art and activism, questioning the role of the artist in political movements by exploring those relations through personal experience.
