Elements of Landscape - Erika Holden
26 October - 2 December
"My paintings explore the landscape, its underlying structures, and my emotional connections with it This is a journey of discovery. The compositional threads are created by the building up and scraping back of the painted surface. As water cuts a path through land, so water has moved through the paint finding the way of least resistance. The placement and the repeated abstract symbol of the pohutukawa tree provide the link between the elements of earth and water. The Zen-like quality of these paintings is the expression of a connection with the landscape that is always been part of my life."
