Terre by Audrey Durbridge is a collection of artworks articulating the textures, tonality and resonance of coastline.
Terre is a collection of artworks articulating the textures, tonality, and resonance of coastline. Made primarily from materials gathered and processed within their place of origin, Bellerive, and Barrett’s Bay as these are my studio sites and are the constant informants of my creative impetus.
Earth pigments, inks and stains infuse the cloth and paper with colour that creates a rich surface for embellishment. Collage, appliqué and stitch then provide the unexpected placements and connections. Using coastal detritus and salvaged metal gives form to the patterns and rhythms of place.
This work is situated between the unexpected and the intentional. The combining of various materials is the process through which the artwork forms, with mixed media becoming its own content. Terre is the language that represents my relationship to place.
