WEATHERING: ABSTRACTED LANDSCAPES

@ Strathnairn Gallery November-December 2022

A joint exhibition with Judy Panucci exploring the erosive processes of time and its agents within the merging of the natural and human environment. Barbara Dawson is exploring her connection to place and the environment and her interpretation of erosion and disintegration. On one level her work is a contemplation of the physical weathering in the environment - abstract representations of a landscape she engages with. At a deeper more personal level it is a reflection on ageing and weathering over a human lifetime; a parallel landscape of outer and inner worlds. Dawson is fascinated by the outlines and shapes she observes in the landscape. Be it the image of the contours and lines of the mountains around the ACT that she grew up with or the layers of the cliffs and rock faces of Jervis Bay, her current home, where she looks for signs of the passage of time and the fragility in things, through their breakdown and evolution from weathering and ageing.
