Abstract

Much admired Australian artist, G.W. Bott has described her latest body of work as a 'dialogue between silences and spaces and the landscape of glyphs'. Like a sequence of visual poems, the series of work maps a spiritual terrain as much as a physical landscape. Gestural marks and rythmic notations are threaded sparsley through the prints, reminiscent of ancient pictographs or hieroglyphics, and describe a winding traill from the known landscape towards a psychological hinterland that lies somewhere between the sensorial and the visual, the abstract and the real.
