 'Art For Articulate' #1-4, 2023 

 

.

 gouache on paper; four sheets; 59.4 x 42 cm (each sheet) 


The permutations and variations in ‘Art For Articulate’ draw on early C20th Modernism, specifically Constructivism and Bauhaus graphic design and typography, as well as Conceptual art and global conceptualism from the 1960s onwards. The tensions between the textual and pictorial, conceptual and material, explore both art historical and contemporary perspectives.
I am a curator, writer and artist based in Melbourne. I have a strong interest in C20th Modernism, specifically Constructivism and Bauhaus graphic design and typography, as well as Conceptual art and global conceptualism from the 1960s onwards. My curatorial work and art historical interests inform my current creative practice.
