About the artwork

Westerman’s new work for Melbourne Now expands upon the techniques and themes of her 2019 series, i think we were friends once, maybe, a collection of coloured etchings printed on her home press that used architectural forms to express ideas of closeness and anxiety. For Westerman, printmaking allows her to communicate thoughts and feelings that are difficult to convey in everyday interactions. Here she plays with tensions between objects, using facades and repeated forms of different textures and density. Restrained, solemn and somehow tender, her spare shapes appear crowded together by an overwhelming blank space, conveying feelings of attachment and confinement. Westerman’s adjacent writing practice informs her image-making, where her interest in time, place, remembrance, loss and memorialisation carries over into artworks charged with narrative and emotional weight.
