Jaq belcher biography of barack

In her approach, Jaq Belcher keeps in mind how to draw on her bright white surfaces without adding or subtracting physical components.

Instead, Belcher cuts into the paper, manipulating light and shadow organized into patterns that evoke natural phenomena in shape and form. The cuts made to create her repeated forms, and the time it took to make them, are then carefully notated along the bottom of each drawing.

The focus on reduction and repetition require a focused stillness and, for Belcher, are a testament to the practice of being completely present in the moment.

In 1993 Jaq Belcher was awarded the State prize for the emerging artists from Craft Victoria.
