'Far Away'

An exhibition of drawings and paintings by

KATH SINKORA

All of life’s journeys incorporate actions and events that, with time and perspective, reveal a tangled mesh of beginnings, processes and endings. Significant events shape and mould us, often compelling a response where reflection urges a reconfiguring of personal history into a landscape of possibilities.

My art is derived from a childhood spent in a prison-like 19th century neo-Gothic institution. From the age of three my nights were spent looking through windows covered with bars and wrought iron, achingly staring at the landscape over open fields, and across the Yarra River in Melbourne. An occasional and privileged visit to a restricted access and meticulously designed and cultivated garden afforded the only release into an otherwise barred and concrete-encased existence.

The landscape became a repository of seemingly impossible dreams: beyond the barred windows, barbed wire and high walls topped with broken glass, were views of the landscape which held promises of life in open spaces with alluring horizons tempting me to escape as far away as possible. The call of the distance is never far away.

Each work I create resonates some aspect of my heavily regimented and highly restricted upbringing. Visual blocks, bars or divisions and occasional references to 19th century wrought iron often form a linear or ‘filmic’ structure in my work alluding to the taming of nature.
