ELIZABETH PATERSON<br />
Paterson graduated from the Victoria College of the Arts Drama School in 1979. She<br />
worked in professional theatre for many years before gradually moving into the visual<br />
arts. Completing a Graduate Diploma in Sculpture at the ANU School of Art in 1994 was a<br />
significant step in this transition.<br />
Paterson has mostly developed her practice through solo exhibitions where in her shows<br />
she pursues a particular theme in depth and responds to each exhibition space, creating<br />
an installation rather than focusing on separate objects. Galleries in which she has<br />
exhibited include the Canberra Museum and Gallery, Craft ACT: Craft and Design Gallery<br />
and the Australian National Botanic Gardens Gallery.<br />
“Utopia…an imagined place…in which everything is perfect…based on Greek ou ‘not’ +<br />
topos ‘place’ (New Oxford Dictionary of English). Thinking about utopia makes me realize<br />
nowadays I am more interested in discovering what is around me rather than imagining<br />
somewhere that doesn’t exist. I’m very lucky I don’t have to imagine a better place. And I<br />
don’t like the idea of everything being perfect.”<br />
