Working exclusively with the drypoint technique, Kim Westcott captures the intimate tremors of nature. She translates the abstract movements of the Australian landscape in all its diversity - from the Central Desert and the southern coastline to the Great Dividing Range, a steep mountain barrier near where the artist has lived since 2001, in the state of Victoria.

Westcott hollows out and scratches large copper plates, applying materials that she sprays across their surface, pushing the conventional boundaries of printmaking. She often uses industrial tools to create the marks and textures in her work. Open to the visual possibilities and lyrical energy of this technique, she explores the ridged cavities formed by the lines and dots incised into the copper.

This instinctive approach extends to her inking methods, which involve direct printing on the plates.
 Kim Westcott’s relationship with her geographic environment is innate and spiritual, and it shines through in the originality and beauty of her artworks - pieces that are held in major Australian and international collections.
