Referencing the traditions of abstraction confronting and pushing the boundaries of perceived value in fine arts, Bridget Barnett and Joslyn Hobbis explore the contrasts and contradictions associated with permanence and impermanence in highbrow and lowbrow art.
By painting outside of the confinesof what is usually considered the standard rectangle, they layer and disrupt he gestural painted mark with both manual and mechanised gestures, and showcase the luscious quality of paint.
A playful exploration emerges from spontaneousmark-making and shape-morphing; organic gloops, waves, orbs and wobbles inquirky cartoon form become chicken legs, eggs, gloopy paint, last night’sdinner or slime. Interesting colour choices crackle to reveal layers beneath, inviting closer inspection.
Experience the exuberant and lively nature ofthe work which is sure to make any dedicated sourpuss turn sweet.

Four artists, two countries, one work. Inspired by Karanga (car-rung-na), the Māori tradition of call and response, and Wominjeka (wom-in-jeka), the Wurundjeri people’s Welcome to Country, offerings from our respective nations were exchanged and drawn upon. Sharing a belief that connecting with nature inspires creativity, we left our studios to walk through country, explore our neighbourhoods, and document our findings.
Sounds, photographs, videos, objects, words and traces of human presence from the real world, were offered through the virtual, and a response formed. A continuously moving work of overlapping, interconnecting, morphing of individual moments, playfully woven into one. Traversing the Tasman, into the imaginative world of the In-between.
