Altiplano 1, Original Artwork by Silvi Glattauer

An Inkjet Pigment Print on Cotton Paper by Melbourne based artist Silvi Glattauer, framed in Tasmanian Oak.

A founding member of ‘The Baldessin Press and Studio’, Silvi Glattauer (born in Argentina) is a practicing photo-media artist who is recognised as an authority on the Photopolymer Photogravure process as well as working with a range of other photographic processes.
Her images are about beauty as felt by the sense of sight and touch. Silvi’s approach is to collect, to archive, to classify and to record. Her narratives are strongly related to storyboards of time and place with a connecting thread between materiality, object and preciousness.

From the ongoing series, ‘La Puna De Atacama’, these Altiplanic landscapes are topographical storyboards exploring a personal narrative of identity that pendulates between Australia and Argentina.
