Bill Meyer’s 'Protect the Remnant' is a compact yet resonant etching that reflects on the fragility of landscape and ecological memory. Within an intimate frame, Meyer captures mountainous terrain in angular strikes, a high horizon below a crescent moon and a city distant and speckled.

Born in Australia in 1942, Meyer studied art history and languages at the University of Melbourne before training at the National Gallery Art School and later the Royal College of Art, London. His years as a resident artist at the Mishkenot Sha’ananim studios in Jerusalem during the 1980s and ’90s directly inform the work’s emotional and spiritual sensitivity. These influences meet on the plate: loose, animated marks alive with wonder and sacred geography, held within a confident, assured composition.

'Protect the Remnant' distils the sensibility that runs through Meyer’s oeuvre: place as witness, memory as terrain, and landscape as a refuge where the personal, spiritual and environmental intersect.
