Bobbie Bale’s colourful abstract expressionist paintings are inspired by her wild garden. She explains that the seeds for the ideas had been germinating for some time when a particular experience galvanised her into action. After walking through wet grass, she turned back to see the silver pathway made by her footsteps emerge and, just as quickly disappear. The experience became a metaphor for the beautiful moment, change and memory.
Bobbie says “I have been particularly influenced by the fragility and edginess of work by Eva Hesse and Anya Gallacio, the poets Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman”.
There will be an opportunity to view sketch books showing how the work has evolved and listen to poetry readings recorded by our GSA students.
