Olives by Kylie Fogarty
Dotted around Barton Estate is many fabulous olive trees. This is a focused drawing of one of the olives in archival pigmented pen.
During a seven-year residency at Barton Estate Wines, Kylie Fogarty has witnessed the care taken during the viticulture process and also the heartache of an enduring love of the vine. The body of work will include paintings and drawings, responding to her experience at the winery, as well as the varying elements which have impacted the wines during this time, including heat, rain, hail, and more recently, fire and devastatingly, smoke.
Olives was part of the In The Vines Artist in Residence Solo Exhibition 2020. The exhibition embraces not only the landscape of the location of Barton Estate Wines, but also the love and process of Viticulture.
