Artist Info
Borgelt manoeuvres between vastly different scales, across numerous series of work engaging a personal language that summons up deep-felt metaphysical qualities of time and transience, about the greater world outside our immediate everyday lives. Diverse as her practice is, there is a common thread in her work manifested through the interplay of polarities.
A lexicon of symbols and motifs, at once universal and personal, distinguishes the imagery of Borgelt’s work. Drawing on experience with a wide range of materials, including bees-wax, canvas, felt, glass, pigment, stainless steel, wood, stone and organic matter, she hones her ideas to the demands of a given site, mediating the creative intervention with originality and sensitivity.
In more recent years Borgelt has introduced motorised elements that add a kinetic, time-based dimension reinforcing her ideas about flux and impermanence.
Borgelt’s works are held in all major Australian museums and numerous regional, university and corporate collections throughout Australia and overseas.
