As
pilgrims of a kind, calligrapher Georgia Angelopoulos and artist Miles
Lowry draw from the visual and literary traditions of their respective
heritage. Their individual travels have allowed them to experience
first-hand the important artifacts of historic poets, artists and
scribes. This exhibition reunites
their collaboration, first explored in 2011. By pulling words into
paintings and paintings into script the two artists work on the same
ground deciphering a mysterious balance of meaning and gesture.
Together, their ‘marks of devotion’ connect to the roots and rituals of
language, crafted using fine linen, gold, cast fibre, and mineral
pigments.
