About the art
Artist statement
Painting from the series "The intelligence of feeling".
Painted after losing a dear friend, the Artist was struck whilst grieving, how both everything and nothing often have equal importance.
This series, whilst drawing on scape, is primarily defined by emotion and feeling. She continues to explore the balance of chance and control during the painting process, whilst remembering and considering absence, time, distance, vulnerability, difficulty, loss and the notion of sometimes feeling lost..... the human condition.
She uses palette knife, brush and sponge building up layers and washing away in a process that becomes as important to remove as to add, a kind of reverberation of relationship with the canvas of addition and subtraction, push and pull.
The Artist intends to create something that is ambiguous, moving, chimerical, organic and elemental.
