A bit of a realisation (and an invitation)

I’ve had a bit of a doh moment recently.
The kind where something becomes so obvious you can’t believe you didn’t see it sooner.
I’ve always struggled slightly with how to describe my work.
I’d say things like “mixed media” and “layered abstracts”… which, if I’m honest, doesn’t really tell you anything about what it feels like.
And then it clicked.
I create paintings that feel like they hold time.
And when I look back at older pieces, I can see it so clearly now.
Even before The Rooted Age, the work was already exploring that idea.
It’s always been there.
In the way layers build...
In what’s revealed and what’s held back...
In that sense that something has happened and hasn’t quite moved on.
The language has changed, but the feeling hasn’t.
I’ll be at CasildArt this Saturday for a Meet the Artist event, as part of a group exhibition with a number of other brilliant artists.
There are a few of my earlier works in the show, including one original and two limited edition prints.
If you’d like to come along, see the work in person, and have a chat, it would be lovely to see you there. EmpowerHer26 Collection
CasildART Contemporary, London
Saturday, Apr 11th from 2 pm to 4 pm
Ps. I’ll be back next week with the next piece from The Rooted Age series… things are starting to shift.
Speak Soon,
Carol
