Time is Bleeding – The Dream 2010
Watercolour on paper

Born in Ruatahuna, Kathryn Madill now lives and works in Dunedin. She majored in printmaking for her Fine Arts degree from the University of Canterbury, graduating in 1971, and exhibits widely throughout New Zealand. She has works in private and public collections here and in Australia.
Solander Gallery, Wellington, exhibited the “Time is Bleeding” suite of watercolour paintings featuring Madill's signature rich, allegorical imagery. Figures emerge from a red forest, fires flare on the plains under a luminous sky, as birds and otherworldly animals move in procession or observe from the borders. The intimate scale of the paintings draws the viewer into this haunting world that feels part fairytale, part dream or premonition.
