RITA BROWN
Atmospheric and intriguing mixed media work.
From the Earth, City and Life.
"You'll find me on the edge. The meeting of land and sea is my playground of inspiration. The ever changing light cast on tactile rock that's known earth's movement and submitted to the weathering blast
of wind and water. `the continual processes of destruction and recreation drive me to express the layered, gritty archaeology of these ancient surfaces."
​
My paintings are created from the memory and experience of walking the rural and coastal footpaths and, in contrast, city walks observing the present and remains of the past.and
In the studio my painting process reflects the impact of weather and erosion on ancient and modern graffiti surfaces. I search for elements that attract me to add to my work. Layers of paint are scraped through revealing an archaeology beneath the painted, textured surfaces.
