'Six Intergenerational Women Artists in Dialogue with Materiality, Landscape and Reduction. Borrowed from archaeology and geology, the title "Strata" refers to the successive layers through which landscapes, objects and histories are formed and understood. Across painting, textile, sculpture and ceramics, each artist approaches material as a site of discovery rather than description. Whether working with earth, paper, pigment, clay or fibre, their practices reveal meaning through sustained acts of making, where reduction, repetition and excavation become ways of seeing as much as methods of production. Together, these six artists remind us that the deepest understanding is rarely immediate—it is uncovered, layer by layer.' Richeldis Fine Art.

Terri Brooks (b. 1958, Australia) has spent more than three decades developing a practice rooted in the landscape surrounding Melbourne’s Yarra River and Merri Creek. For Brooks, painting begins with walking. Sustained encounters with place are distilled into a radically reduced visual language, where the line becomes less a descriptive device than a record of movement, orientation and repeated encounter with the landscape. The conceptual origins of Brooks’ Line Marker series can be traced to Richard Long’s A Line Made by Walking, where the line is understood not as representation but as the physical trace of an embodied encounter with place. Rather than depicting landscape, Brooks constructs an equivalent experience of it through rhythm, restraint and the measured discipline of the line. Constructed through successive layers of pigment, graphite and oil, Brooks’ paintings evolve through an extended process of addition, reduction and revision. Fine linear interventions traverse the surface with remarkable restraint, while subtle shifts in tone gradually reveal themselves only through prolonged looking. The exposed, hand-worked edges remain integral to each work, reinforcing the painting as a physical object rather than an illusionistic image. Brooks’ paintings recall a lineage of British modernism, where composition, material and objecthood are held in deliberate equilibrium, and beauty emerges through the careful calibration of proportion, rhythm and restraint. Central to the exhibition is Titanium Stripes (2026), a significant development of Brooks’ earlier Line Marker series. Enlarged to an architectural scale, the work extends a single formal proposition into a painting of remarkable quietness and precision, where repeated bands dissolve into subtle tonal variation.

It's a great pleasure to be in this beautifully curated exhibition. It's also special for me to see my work in a traditional Spanish interior for the first time as I have some Spanish heritage.
