themes of iconic landscapes and animals in intensely personal sometimes surrealistic images. In the late 1990s Kempson collaborated with Matthew Tome a fellow art teacher at the Institute of TAFE, Meadowbank College, Sydney. They combined various printing techniques such as screen printing, etching, and lithography and produced a series of works on socio-political subjects: Martyrology 1998, and Prime Ministers of Australia 1999. The Australian Print Council commissioned a limited edition etching/aquatint from Kempson in 2014 titled, “Longing and Belonging”. Kempson's recent work is centred on Bonsai and ecological concerns. He combined the studies from two residencies – the first in Lake Mungo in the Willandra Lakes World Heritage region and the second in Huashan, the sacred western mountain of the Five Great Mountains of China – to make compositions using the motif of the regional trees.
