Devolution: Landscape Drawings

11 September—28 September 2013

In this selection of new landscape drawings, Moffatt continues her attempts to deconstruct the perceptive process, researching the quality of human uncertainty in the face of a mobile, changing environment.

Using a range of traditional drawing media, and working without digital, mechanical or electronic intervention, Moffatt transposes a landscape in which nature reasserts its authority over the social, calling for a revaluation of the primitive, the unprocessed, the elemental and the sensitive. This state of human and natural instability is reflected in the variable aesthetic, and its immediacy finds its nearest allies in the work of the Post-Impressionists and early Expressionists. Each drawing traces a sequence of moments in which Self and Subject converge and diverge, jostling for position and attention and eventually locating themselves tenuously within the frame.
