Anthea Boesenberg is a printmaker with a strong interest in surface. Commonly she layers fine Japanese tissue to produce complex translucent works which play with colour and transparency. Always interested in exploring new ideas, Anthea develops suites of prints, often monotypes, which extend the form and the technical constraints of the medium.Anthea Boesenberg ………….. on quite a bold scale, traces from a postcolonial perspective the scars of human habitation through the dimension of time. Her alchemy of printmaking technologies subverts any literalness in the reading of the imagery and it becomes a beautiful evocative work of mood and
feeling, but with an effective and long lasting resonance.
Professor Sasha Grishin, 2008
The motifs of the plates include hand-drawn images, fabric samplings, natural and discarded objects. Imbued with a poetics of disintegration and decay these airy and light panels whisper rather than roar, they question rather than state. Like Haiku poetry their simplicity of form resonates with complex meanings. To engage with the unique sensibility expressed in these contemporary yet timeless prints one only needs to engage with them through the heart.
