Contemplate is the latest solo exhibition by Queensland artist, Kym Barrett.
Extending on her abstract landscape painting practice, this exhibition presents new experimental work that responds directly to her home landscape, more specifically the creek at the rear of her property. For over 30 years, this creek, lush with rainforest, has offered Barrett a natural, nourishing and refreshing place to breathe deeply, always gifting her with rich visual imagery to embed into her memory. In Contemplate the artist has created a similar contemplative space for the viewer, bringing her distinctive practice to bear in creating the installation and soundscape.
