Pastorale, 1958, distills Krishna Reddy’s experiential approach to creating works about our natural world. Bands of space imply a sense of a known place though the etched organic shapes almost become patterns. It plays on what we experience and know as landscape, while the method of making suggests accident. It sits somewhere between what we know about our visual world, and what Reddy imagines how it came to be.
