Irene Briant b. 1934

  • Artist (Sculptor)
Briant's work recontextualises the work of colonial artists like George Raper to argue that then and still today, Anglo-Australians may still feel nostalgia for the green paddocks of Europe, despite never having experienced them.

Description

A series of ten works, in two and three dimensions, this installation explored ideas about different concepts of space, including architectural space, the created spaces of landscape and garden design, and the vast spaces of ocean and sky. It referred, in part, to the architecture and garden design of Europe as well as the transposition of European vision into an antipodean context.
