Rose Moxham (QLD)

Rose Moxham's work is based in nature, specifically the mangrove, living where she does on Moreton Bay Queensland with the mudflat at her door. It is an immeasurable subject, her only subject, and there are myriad ways of seeing and approaching it. Moxham has chosen to not settle on any one approach (although the one informs the other), partly because it would be untrue to both the mangrove and to how she works, and also because it gives her scope to investigate in many forms not only the physicality and emotional content of the subject, but also that of the materials she uses.

The work is abstracted, reductive, the focus is on rhythm, volume diverted by colour, surface shape, and the tension between raw, sometimes rough, materials, layering, glazes and limited palette.
