Visible Traces (2003) 絵画 Kerryn Madsen-Pietsch によって

Prelude: This work is from the curated group exhibition 'Remnants of Presence'. One of the conceptual challenges for each artist was to approach a work with subject matter in-two-parts to show current practice/new work development and be shown together.

Visible Traces is about Renewal, a Journey of Experiences and Time Passage. Part A makes up the two outer side canvas panels, on each side of the new work (part B). It consists of 3 panels.

A) The makes reference to the initial inspirations from: the natural environment, the human figure, various motifs including banana fibre made receptacles/vessels and evolved symbology.

B) Prior artwork imagery and object 'remnants' were used for the initial stimuli and also represents my 'presence'. All is fused into an abstract composition.

It is a collective tribute to the shapes, forms, patterns, and textures etc that were the initial inspirations, the visible signage. Organic, gestural and spontaneous in feel (energy), with collage and mixed media processes mingled with my personal symbolism.

The work provides the viewer with facets and moments. Although ambiguous, there are sufficient visual markers i.e. passages, to draw them in to discover further information and help them to intuitively and conceptually complete what they may perceive in each work (now the remnant) and to sense the presence of the artist (spirit).
