GEOMETRIC ABSTRACT LANDSCAPE QUILTS
KATHRYN BLUMKE
7–24 MAY

Geometric Abstract Landscape Quilts investigates Kathryn Blumke’s encounters with nature as she walks and paints along Kedron Brook in Meanjin. These works reveal her complex, intertwined relationships with the brook, its herons, swamp birds, butterflies, and paperbark trees.

Drawing on Rosi Braidotti’s posthuman feminism, which engages with the writings of Deleuze, Blumke reflects on transformation and healing through the making of these quilts. They bring together a body that is both embodied and embedded in materials, embracing joyful becomings with nature and a playful exploration of colour, geometry, watercolour, and line.

Blumke gratefully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, the Turrbal and Yugara Peoples, on whose Country she walks, paints, and heals.
