The recipient of the 2020 SACE Art Show’s UniSA Outstanding Creative Project Award is Madeline Cole for her work ‘The Whiteboard’. The Seymour College graduate will receive a $500 voucher kindly donated by UniSA.

"The Whiteboard is a large scale (200cm x 250cm), abstract expressionist piece that depicts my life journey. Driven by the works of Cy Twombly and Pablo Picasso, I was inspired to use abstracted fragments of paint, as the medium’s qualities helped assist in creating a sense of depth and tactility. Each line and brush stroke is a symbol for the experiences and memories I have accumulated during my years as a child and young adult. Moreover, I wanted to link concepts and techniques found in the work of abstract-expressionist artists like Ash Holmes and the late Jean-Michel Basquiat to illustrate an emotional driven and vibrant artwork."
