GW Bot:The Long Paddock: A 30 Year Survey
Spanning three decades, this exhibition of GW Bot’s works evolves from the more literal figurative representations of the 80s to the almost pure ‘glyph-marking’ for which she is now renowned. Bot’s glyphs take on a metaphysical nature and become metaphors for language and landscapes within us all. This exhibition showcases prints, paintings, artists books and sculpture and is a ‘must see’ exhibition for artists, students, printmakers, art lovers and collectors.
Opening Night:6pm Friday 25 May
