Plate Series by Newport-based artist, Robert Hague, utilises hand coloured lithographs on cotton rag paper to delve into the uncomfortable and often brutal realities of Australian colonial history and beyond. Robert has selected six artworks from the series to be installed at The Substation, with the sixth and final work serving as a poignant reminder to preserve and nurture what’s left.
