The Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize was first launched on 25 August 2002 to commemorate museum curator Fredrick George Waterhouse. The art exhibition allows artists from across Australia and around the world to capture and embrace the elaborate and complex biodiversity within our beautiful planet. The atmosphere inside the exhibition was quite relaxed and focused solely on the artworks. The lighting was very discreet and the walls were painted a simple layer of white. All of the paintings were hung at eye level so that viewers could really focus their attention on the artwork. Some sculptures had an added sense of emphasis in the way they cast shadow. There were several interesting and elaborate pieces on display, some of which were: “Small Parts – Big Picture” by Terry Jackson, “Hover” by Julia Roberts and “Words Alone Will Not Save Me” by Veronica Cay.Small Parts – Big The image created by Terry (Theresa) Jackson, a local South Australian artist, was created using graphite and colored pencil. The image gives viewers an up close and personal look at an elephant. There are six separate quadrilateral panels on a white background. Each panel has a different characteristic of an elephant. There are two panel sizes in the photo. The two in the center are the same size as each other and the remaining four boxes are the other different sizes. In the panels we can see an eye, a foot, a tail, an ear, a tusk and a layer of skin. The style in which the image was drawn is extremely realistic and almost lifelike, as if it had been photographed. There are only two colors (yellow and grey) used in the entire piece. Being an elephant the dominant color within the painting is grey. The main focal point… the center of the paper… the rigidity of the coral structure and the violent darkness of the shadow it casts. The thread ties the piece together as a whole and creates a sense of balance with its textured triangular shape. This artwork has a very strong message associated with the importance of protecting our future natural environments and biodiversity, especially the world's oceans. He believes that simply saying something does not mean that a person will stop pollution, reduce carbon emissions, stop global warming, etc. And that people need to act now because the environment has already started to suffer. It also implies the ignorance of the human race towards environmental concerns and pushes them to fight the battle that plants and animals could not otherwise win. The success of this piece comes from its simple, overt content and the maximum drama and urgency associated with this content.
