Barbara Gell

Barbara Gell captures feelings and impressions of being in the Perth hills’ Whistlepipe Gully, and a sense of place through her paintings and drawings. Geometric structure forms the scaffolding on which a variety of marks reintroduce the tangle of natural forms. Gell’s work is centred around the push and pull of chaos and order.
