The artists latest body of work:
In an effort to make sense of it all during this year (2020/21), with more time available in the studio,
the artist spent time exploring existing techniques gaining inspiration from every day objects around the home during the lockdowns.
Eventually bringing all the focus onto the minute detail of the Banksia flowers she had been using in her work.
Each mark and brushstroke evolved from this focus. An emotive response to being confined.
This and her continued passion for a lifetime of colourful craft, warm knits, crochet and embroidery and the individual stitches that build up over time working on such projects, and the textures and colours of the textiles and materials used inspired her to expand on this body of work.
Thus the works in this series are derived from a process of experiments.
Each mark is painstakingly added to a backdrop of layered paint, taking the work in a completely different direction to it's original format. This achieves a texture and movement over the canvas that is as mesmerising as the process is itself.
The abstract composition takes on a landscape of it's own.
The quantity of marks on each canvas is a symbolic reference to the amount of people impacted by the events of the last 2 years regardless of how they are impacted they each have significance.
