Familial explorations in texture and pattern.
Four artists, a mother and daughter, and two sisters, whose diverse practices and materials include ceramics, textiles, stitch and paint, have come together to consider aspects of kin and kinship. What is in the genes, the developed aesthetic, and what in the lived life is manifest in each of our practices? Here we show our commonalities and distinctions, and invite you to consider them also.
Laura Pascoe is an architect, designer and artist. She has been working with clay for 11 years. The form, colours & textures in her work are inspired by nature and the decoration on the pieces is often spontaneous and organic. This series focuses on texture – attempting to develop greater depth in the carved and manipulated clay surface.
Margaret Pascoe uses the needle as a paintbrush, stitching to make pattern, form and texture with inherited thread on second-hand fabric. Her process is organic, intuitive. Self-taught, she has worked with textiles for 57 years and this is her first exhibition.
Rose Moxham’s work is based in nature, abstracted, reductive, the focus on rhythm and the relationship between limited colour, support shape, and a surface built with repetition, laying down the paint, undoing it, leaving evidence of the hand
Sylvia Watt trained at East Sydney Technical College (NAS) in painting and drawing, later focusing on textiles. For 25 years she has taught locally, nationally and internationally. Her interest is in the plasticity and interaction of diverse materials.
