Simple Forms for Complex Times
“Each day, artist Leeanne Crisp went to her studio some distance from the homestead on a small farm in the Shoalhaven catchment and followed her daily mediation by making one brushstroke. The big brush she used was purchased on a trip to China. The paper lay on the floor. The stroke was red. She mixed the pigments, Quinacridone Red, Magenta, and Rose, fresh with water every day. She has worked with watercolours for more than 40 years. Different colours have dominated her work at different moments in her life.”
