7 - 19 October

Jo Barrett’s paintings have a substance about them that comes only with time spent. This feeling of time and presence, wrought in rich layers of paint, perfectly compliments the abstract-landscape genre.

 

Barrett’s inherent understanding of form allows meditations on division to filter through her painterly textures and cut softly into the subconscious. The paintings speak, like the land of the way they have been slowly divided, cut through, built up or scraped back over time.

 

These works explore the age old practice of defining territories using landmarks to identify where boundaries begin and end. This universal language of separation gives a sense of belonging.
