Charles Nodrum, David Rankin: Works from the 1960's & 70's, Charles Nodrum Gallery, 2017, exhibition catalogue:
Of the works made in Sydney in the early 1970s: “Elliptical forms…gathered colour and the overlapping swathes were, in part, inspired by the layering in Korean ceramics. The small ones are alive with energy and movement, whilst the long ones have a quite different mood emanating a restfulness which achieves its most definite expression in works reduced to a series of verticals…”
