Anne Hastie
@ Red Gallery
25 May – 11 June 2011
For a number of years now I have been traveling to China on a regular basis, spending extended time in Beijing as a practicing artist. These trips have allowed me a period of reflection and productivity not readily achieved in Australia.
The challenge of a harsh winter and the language barrier, together with a diversity of materials encouraging experimentation and surrounding suburbs filled with Chinese and international artists, all make for an exciting and highly creative experience.
My work is firmly based in the physical world. While references to landscape are imaginary, they are based in that which we can see and touch. My interests are primarily in re-interpreting the world by imagined aerial perspectives and through microscopic views.
