Rosslynd piggott biography of christopher

Rosslynd Piggott is one of Australia’s leading contemporary artists. Her work explores the material thresholds of painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, glasswork and installation, enlisting a sophisticated technique and acute sense of colour.

Recalling the fragile and ephemeral qualities observable in the natural world, Piggott signals the inner realm of emotion, memory and imagination. Slow and deliberate, her work makes palpable that which lies just beyond our tangible reality.

Her interdisciplinary and process-driven practice generates meditative compositions that consistently evoke metaphysical, spatial and perceptual considerations.

The pared-back nature of much of Piggott’s recent aesthetics elicit multi-sensorial phenomena through a seamless invocation of environmental factors such as air and light. Often resistant to discrete categorisation, her unique approach to materiality captures the mutability of paint, sculpture, glass and photography.
