Norma Redpaths early practice emphasises abstract and natural forms through carved timber. By the early 1960s Redpath travelled to Rome, seeking out guidance in traditional bronze casting methods at the Brera Academy in Milan. In blending these traditional methods with intuitive practice, Norma's work responded to the natural forms of the landscape. This experience largely informed Redpaths practice, later becoming a central figure in Australian modernist sculpture alongside contemporaries such as Inge King, Clifford Last and Julius Kane.
