Rebecca Porter explores the iterative qualities of painting by repeating old ideas with the aim of exhausting or erasing them.
She approaches painting as an extension of drawing, creating works inspired by the awkward shifts between the two mediums.
Rebecca Porter is a Melbourne-based artist interested in the narrative possibilities of painting.
