SHADOWS AND FORM | The Art of Rosslynd Piggott with Rebecca Coates

Rosslynd Piggott creates exquisite objects, paintings and moving image installations. Exploring the light and shadows of life, she often alludes to the impermanent and elements more frequently hidden. Her art reflects the influence of natural forms and Japanese aesthetics: blossoms, trees, the essence of scent and pools of inky blackness appear as enduring motifs. The lecture will provide an introduction to the work of Rosslynd Piggott.

REBECCA COATES is an independent curator and writer. In 2008 she curated Rosslynd Piggott extract: in 3 parts at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art. She lectures in contemporary art and art curation in the School of Culture and Communication, University of Melbourne, and completed her doctorate in 2013.
