I am passionate about art as a means of creating, expressing, exploring, processing and making sense of the world – through my own eyes and the eyes of others.
Artworks: 11
After following a freelance career in Graphic Design, Bronwyn returned to study to gain a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Honours degree majoring in Painting and Drawing at La Trobe University.
Bronwyn’s artworks are geometric abstractions imbued with silent wonderings, constructed in an almost exclusively horizontal and vertical format that relies on the limited repertoire of squares and rectangles. This type of organic grid allows for meaning to rest within it – yet still provide space for the viewer to complete the artwork and experience for themselves.
An almost monochromatic, earthy reduced palette of greys, beiges, browns and gentle muted hues are inspired by the majestic Australian gum trees. The diverse materials preferred include pencil, paint, cardboard, fabrics and a variety of new and recycled papers, all collaged together to create a sensual, textured surface.
Although these artworks are devoid of obvious imagery, occasionally concealed text quivers beneath the layered complexity of the simple geometric structures. The text is extracted from daily newspapers, alluding to the notion of the everyday and familiar but not necessarily the comfortable.
