Represented at the National Gallery of Australia and the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Caroline Durre is inspired by ornamental patterns from European architecture, landscaping and richly adorned fabric. Her work flirts with optical illusions, creating immersive patterns that draw the eye in.

‘Broderie’ is an elegant example cast in muted green. Durre constructs a pattern that appears three-dimensional, recalling fractals, Baroque architecture and a maze viewed from above. Where abstract art is typically expressive or hard-line, Durre’s is ornamental, intricate and deft.

For collectors of contemporary prints, ‘Broderie’ will delight. It comes from Rona Green’s curation of fifty prints, exhibited at Geelong Gallery.
