For many years Anthony Priddle’s workspace has been a strappers cottage amongst racing stables on Sydney’s urban fringes. Built from a demolished racetrack building during the depression, it is lined with variously patterned pressed metal sheeting. Priddle has used these patterns as a common perspective and prism through which his latest series of paintings are visualised and constructed.
Any narratives that the viewer may draw from the images remain, as always, the property of the viewer. In part at least, this series is also about the act of making art, and about being human.
