Published on the occasion of 'Glacier,' which 'presents the work of seventeen artists whose work participates in [the] reassessment of the role of painting in a way that is characteristically conceptual in its approach; cool and controlled in presentation. This is not a survey show, but an exhibition that presents some of the new dynamics in Australian painting. The title of the show, "Glacier," is a metaphoric allusion to a natural form which assimilates a great deal in its inexorable, if almost imperceptibly gradual movement, yet also has enough substance and weight to transform a vast terrain.' (Excerpt from 'Reflection and Reconstruction: New Directions in Australian Painting' by Linda Williams, p. 4)
