Confluence #4
7 - 20 September 2017
Thinking about lines of communication
The fourth celebration of this friendship of many years we have chosen to call Confluence #4 to reflect what has become an annual coming together for the exchange of visual concepts: an exchange that has always been intrinsic to our relationship.The development of one’s personal expression involves the creation of a particular visual vocabulary. Each of us uses a vocablulary that is in part the result of the environment in which we have chosen to live; here the differences become apparent – the opposition of urban and rural; the choice of the use of organic found materials against geometric abstraction. But what is important is the realisation and acceptance of the artistic vocabulary of the other: there is more than one way to make art.
Annette Minchin's part of Confluence #4 is documenting Intersecting elements of dead trees, ephemeral lakes, sands and the natural debris of desert landscape around Menindee Lake. Fine lines on canvas or paper reference the intricacy of patinas which sit over a solid, aged and fragile landscape.
Barbara's suggestion to work with responses between our works is a rich interplay of small works in the back room.
