Artwork Description
Artist Bio
My name is Kim Bagot-Hiller and I am an emerging artist from Bathurst NSW specialising in Botanical subjects. In the beginning the focus of my practice was to portray my subjects β plants and flowers, in its barest form, stripping away the distraction of colour, using techniques of pen and ink drawings and graphite rendering, revealing the beauty beneath. The soft, delicate nature of a flower portrayed by graphite and the structural complexity of the pen and ink.
By investigating artistic techniques and mediums, I recently discovered printmaking a natural extension of my drawing mediums. Printmaking has become perfect process and vehicle for conveying the complexity and beauty of Australian Native flora. Dry point and etching extend my processes already developed through drawing, allowing for the combination of softness and complexity.
My practice has been influenced by studies in Environmental Science, with knowledge of Botany, plant structure and science, attention to detail has become an important aspect to my work. Combing the scientific, and the artistic is the challenge which motivates my practice. Making scientific beauty of the floral landscape accessible.
