SPACE IS NEVER EMPTY 1975 - 1980s

<p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>My art career spans five decades and builds on my lifelong interest in meditation philosophy and feminism as conduits of freedom and peace. This book provides a survey of the work I created in my formative young adult years from beginning art school in Melbourne in 1975 up to the early 1980s. It is the first of a series of books that documents the progression of my art practice.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)> </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(40 40 40 1)>These images ranging from sculpture to photography etching and painting exemplify my move to embrace a non-representational practice. Across all mediums I have worked with I see common threads which include: textural colour fields minimalist expression the creation of installations as well as objects but also an interest in the materiality of space both inside and outside of the work. My overarching experience is that space is never empty both in the artwork and in the surrounding environment. I aim to manifest works that are supportive of nuance and mindful attentiveness and that create a moment of counterpoint to the ubiquitous anxious complexity of information overload.</span></p>
