Donna Marcus, Radiate

Radiate is a survey exhibition of the past 20+ years of practice for internationally acclaimed artist Donna Marcus.

In this exhibition, Marcus threads familial connection with conceptual and historical underpinnings from marine salvaging in the early 1900s to themes of memory, minimalism, and geometry. A once long-term resident of the Gold Coast Hinterland, Marcus is a dedicated collector of domestic materials that she uses to explore the formal properties of composition, form, and pattern.
