About this event

Rusten House presents a series of beautifully rendered watercolour paintings by accomplished Australian painter Michelle Hiscock.

In her exhibition Landscape and Memory, Michelle Hiscock re-imagines classical landscape traditions through a contemporary lens, to consider the intrinsic connection between place, memory, and time. Depicting ethereal landscapes rendered in watercolour, her works evoke mood and light through a range of sepia tones in her compositions. For the artist “Making a drawing of a particular place simultaneously creates and conjures memories. Drawing requires time and a quality of attention that has become rare. While sitting quietly drawing, it’s as if the landscape begins to speak. Indigenous people talk of ‘deep listening’ and the act of drawing requires something similar.”
