"The Rake’s progress series was made over a two year period in Brisbane and Townsville. The etchings, like those made by William Hogath in his original series, follow the fate of the "Rake" on his journey through life. Unlike Hogath’s narrative, the Rake in my series is a young artist who both observes and participates in events as they unfold in different environments. |
As well as recording many local events that occured while I made the series, I included many historical art references that had some way influenced my early artistic development." - Ron Mcburnie |
