ARTIST PROFILE: Mandy Rodger
Mandy Rodger is an abstract painter, from Auckland. Her practice explores totality and the idea that nothing stands by itself. Each painting is an improvisation, a response to the forms and marks on the canvas. They are a recognition that while we can look back, we can only move forward. As the making of a painting progresses, each gestural mark and colour is invariably altered by its intrinsic relationship to those that come both before and after. There is a sense of impermanence and change.
Make sure you come check out Mandy’s stunning wall at the show!
