Join us on the First Monday in September for a conversation with Kim Westcott about her ambitious new body of work, the other web. Whilst the works reference nature, including tree trunks, branches, shadows and webforms, there is ‘the other web’, for which the title refers. ‘The other web’ is a reference to nature’s connections, interdependence and energy flows, expressed through Westcott’s use of the dot, line and shape. Her images, with the choice of fallen tree limbs and reflections of a forest, are expressions of a deep concern she holds for the environment.
The exhibition shows Westcott’s unique visual language—for which she is known—deftly applied across media including sculptural forms, photographs, and large-scale ink paintings.
