Their similarities include both artists Imants Tillers and Rosalie Gascoigne being passionate about the environment and loving the beauty of the Australian landscape. In their works, they both used a grid to represent the changing sections of the landscape and they also constructed their work in layers. Both used text and referenced literature and poetry, as in Rosalie's work she used broken text combined to create the image of a worn path while Imants uses words to describe a message and make a personal statement about the region. Rosalie Gascoigne referenced her painting through the titles and logos used in the images while Imants used direct quotes from poetry, place names and including her own message. Both artists lived in the same region and were influenced by the beauty and freedom of the landscape and both believed in respecting the environment. Rosalie loved freedom and the great outdoors while Imants appreciated the bohemian nature of living in harmony with the landscape and was influenced by indigenous beliefs. Both artists were also influenced by Japanese techniques, as Rosalie had previous skills in Ikebana that valued line, which influenced her to make meaning from text to form images. On the other hand, Imants also had previous skills in Neko reprography technology that made it possible to obtain large images by computer. generated and printed on
