Kate Briscoe
Catalogue from Kate’s recent exhibition
Inspired by the ancient and weathered Australian landscape, Kate Briscoe mixes sand into paint to create eroded geological cross sections and striations that capture the substance and sensuality of the earth. For Kate, landforms tell stories. Geological cross sections and sediment layers record past events, catastrophes, the shift and flow of elemental forces over time. Although these works reference the geology of specific areas across the continent-from Arnhem Land and The Kimberly to the South coast of NSW-they are essentially abstract improvisations of texture and colour that facilitate a rich visual experience for the viewer and convey the ‘essence’ of place.
