Barbara Tuck's ravishingly pink paintings are characterised by stripes, wrinkles, multiple conglomerations of horizons, snake-like chasms and caterpillar ranges. Over the past decade she has developed a painterly terrain that taps into a particular local preoccupation with the subject of 'landscape'. Tuck reconfigures the subject, imagining it as unusually accommodating of perceptual and intuitive modes of exploration, uncertainty and mystery. In place of static landscape, she pursues a vision of ecology beyond visual comprehension.
