In Light of Everything explores the sensory experience of light, place and belonging in painting and textile installation.
The mobile character of the work illuminates a notion of being carried through time and place, it suspends itself somewhere between Nordic and Australian light and place.
The exhibition follows an ongoing enquiry of taking my practice beyond the studio and into nature. Here, I carefully create ephemeral textile installations before documenting their interaction with the natural elements.
It is an awe-inspiring process which has followed me around the world - it awakens wonder and environmental awareness.
The viewer is invited to touch and immerse into the work – and to venture beyond horizons to a place where light and collective awareness unfolds and embraces - In light of Everything.
