Corinne Batt-Rawden
|
Hello and welcome.
Born in Sydney in 1972 of a French born mother and an English father and identifies as 'first generation Australian'. Raised along the east coast of Australia and now settled in the beautiful Northern Rivers.
After a life changing accident Corinne discovered arts practice as a means of rehabilitation. Corinne advocates for the benefits and value of art, and its creation and exhibition, for developing the self and community.
|
corinne's work is inspired by spontaneous mark making and experimentation. 'Human creativity is suppressed in many aspects of our global consumer mono culture. Art is one avenue where the soul can be released, free to express and touch others. '
'Power From Within'

Artist Statement: 'Through darkness we find the light which shines from within.

From the 4th until the 14th November 2011,
Corinne Batt-Rawden and Kerrie Divett
present a joint exhibition entitled
Modus Vivendi.
Modus Vivendi
n. pl. A manner of living;
a way of life.
n. A manner of living that reflects
the person's values and attitudes.
Corinne's
artistic expressions investigate the inner
conflict of being, and her
relationship to self and her environment through expressions, textures,
and observations through print, painting and clay.
Kerrie's work
uses various mediums to explore her relationship to the language
surrounding a diagnosis
of breast cancer. These works are a commentary
on her personal, emotional, physical and social
relationships as she defines her mode of living. |
