Painting Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Concepts of illusion and double meaning are recurring themes – The notion that we may receive two contrasting visual (or intellectual) responses to a single stimulant.\u00a0 Her painting methodology is determined by the subject matter and often juxtaposes conventional painting techniques with innovative methods to create unusual surfaces, layers and textures. Depth and surface contrasts utilising translucency are particularly important in her work.<\/p>\n

Her work draws upon many sources from natural phenomena to the darker elements of phantasmagoria exploring light, darkness, shadow, clouds, atmospheres and how our senses and psyche respond to them. Cinematographic and literary sources feature prominently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
