LANDSCAPES AND TREPIDATION.
Utilising a combination of oil paint on wood and paper, my works explore the complexities of human fear through a feminist lens. My practice, through alternative mediums and eerie subject matter, explores the anxieties associated with fear and the intuition that seems built into us.
Through many layers of oil paint, diluted with excessive amounts of linseed oil, to achieve drips and separation in the oil pigment, the image begins to blur, contorting its form to create unsettling landscapes that blend realism and abstraction.
