Exhibition Description and Justification: Kroeger enters the landscape armed with a notebook and pencil for these nature-based images. Using graph paper, the artist makes graphite rubbings from tree bark, which has seen the passage of various beetle type insects. The paths, which are left in their wake, appear like so many strange prehistoric symbols, once Kroeger has done his magic in the darkroom. Printed as colour photograms of relatively large scale, these works simultaneously reference moonscapes, cave paintings, and microcosms .
