SYNCOPATION
(with John Ancher)

5 - 28 March 2015


I draw to express beauty, the definition of which is always subjective.

My interest in architecture means I am always attracted by construction, but not always by the classical built form.  I stand beneath the long-abandoned railway bridge, its hulking silhouette scored overhead against the infinite sky. The bridge is disused, its qualities have been overlooked for years. Yet there is inspiration and quiet splendour cast by its lacy shadows.

The uniform concept that informs all my work is finding a way to express an echo, a pause, a presence that is slightly out of sight but is none the less exerting tension on the page.

It’s palpable, but intangible. There is emotion but it’s ambiguous. Achieving that careful potential with subjects that aren’t obvious, allowing something to slowly emerge out of the shade is something I strive for in my work.

Anna Ancher, Melbourne, 2015
