Forest of Light delves into the profound connection between Westcott and the elemental beauty of Bpangerang Country’s ancient forests surrounding her studio in North East Victoria. This exhibition expresses the rugged, timeless power of the landscape, as well as its radical transformations of colour, light and form throughout the seasons.
Kim Westcott is a significant Australian artist with over 35 years of exhibition history. Known for her large-scale drypoint prints she has since expanded her practice to include bold paintings and acrylic engravings. Westcott was the first Australian to win The Fifth International Biennial Print Exhibit in 1991 and trained in New York under master printmaker Garner Tullis. Westcott’s works have been featured in major exhibitions, including at the National Gallery of Australia, and are held in collections like the National Gallery of Victoria, the New York Public Library, and the Machida City Museum in Japan. Westcott has spent 25 years in North East Victoria / Bpagerang Country where her surrounding forest continues to inspire her evolving work.
