Elizabeth Doidge South Australian Artist
 




Over the years I have frequently been asked to produce an 'artists' statement'. Now I just put that my work is the statement but, when pushed, trot out the following which I wrote many years ago:

"Having resumed painting after 22 years I have had to re-examine my original concepts and find that, despite the intervening years, they have changed only in their focus.

It has always been essential that my work is accessible. However, in order to prevent superficial interpretations of the `pictures’, their realism is disciplined by form and composition, there are no obscure alternative `meanings’, each object represents only itself, and the temptations to use surrealism, obscure symbols or portentous images are avoided."
