Label Information
The immense flexibility of the artist is demonstrated in this landscape with broad sweeps of thin paint impressed with cloths to leave prints or simply dripping randomly. The realism of the rope suspended in the foreground reminds the viewer of the compelling power of illusion. The rope has a highly iconic quality and is a symbol drawn from the reservoir of religious and literary reference that Mason-Attwood has cultivated in her work.
