Anne Pincus – The lay of the land: a topographical memoir

Munich-based, Melbourne-born artist Anne Pincus returns home for her first Australian exhibition in eight years. The work explores the contrast between an experiential view of place with maps or plans, reducing landscapes to points and lines. This ‘topographical memoir’ weaves together conflicting depictions of space and stories of migration, drawing upon experience and memory against an objective perception.
For Pincus, gardens are a “place of solitude and seclusion, a sanctuary. [It] represents an idealized ‘other’ world, an almost magical space”.
