Marion Borgelt is an Australian artist working with sculpture, painting and installation. ‘Memory & Symbol’, is a survey exhibition of work made during the 90s through to her most recent. Drawing inspiration from her interest in environmental concerns, and universal themes of evolution; life cycles, consciousness, and the contrast of light and dark, Borgelt examines the correspondence between the fabricated and the natural world, between microcosm and macrocosm.
Of Borgelt’s work, Sarah Johnson, Curator, Newcastle Art Gallery says, “They evolve and modify as works of art, but are undeniably ‘Borgeltian’ in their precision, tightness of materiality, colour and texture.”
