About Rieteka Geursen

My art practice has its roots in drawing. Various elements of drawing, such as line, mass, gesture, colour, and shape, inform my process.

I became interested in focusing on drawing, and to a lesser degree sculpture, when completing a Bachelor of Visual Arts at Deakin University in Warrnambool, Victoria. Many things are embedded in my art practice from this time, including my keeping of a drawing journal. This not only records my progression of ideas, but has also become a valuable resource to resolve aesthetic issues as they arise. The study of sculpture has meant that extending the artwork beyond the two-dimensional is often inevitable.
