Mirage, 2016, Woodfired and saggar-fired porcelain, mirror, various dimensions

From the dramatic and gentle gradients of landscape, to the subtle and saturated gradients of colour in Alpine climes, GRADIENT is an ode to those melting monuments and disappearing landscapes.

The repetition of line and its rhythmical attention to evolving pattern has formed the structural basis of the mental and visual orientation of her work. As a technique, repetition is embedded in the history of clay and places my work in the continuum of knowledge relayed by the hand. Patterned sequences repeatedly suggest a mental picture, an ideal rather than a realistic rendering of form. The use of repetition and refracted light give a feeling of infinite illusion.

Fragmentation, uncertain lines and seemingly unstable forms and soft to violent mark-making; the works respond to the precarious nature of a changing landscape.

GRADIENT is a vast landscape of materiality and metaphor, an installation of visual linear rhythm, a shift in playing with scale from imposing landscape to intimate form.

A Exhibtion with Painter Ingrid Bowen at Saint Cloche Gallery, Paddington, August 17-28, 2016.
