About the Work
Artists approach their practices through a wide range of mediums and visual languages. Some works draw from landscape, atmosphere, and natural phenomena, tracing how colour, shadow, weather, and horizon shape perception. Others turn inward, using the body, domestic space, personal mythology, or remembered places as sites where emotion and experience become visible.
