Golden Hour
Painting
Oil on canvas
My body of work uses interior scenes, at the serendipitous glow of the golden hour, to represent tranquil moments in one’s life that may be overlooked and underappreciated. The absence of human presence and sense of dormancy are very familiar feelings from the last two years. I deliberately confined my colour palette and brush size with the intent of drawing the viewer into a state of tranquillity and peace where the beauty of the ordinary can be observed and internalised. Painting on such a small scale created my state of peace and a more personal connection with each piece.
My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Grace Cossington Smith, Pierre Bonnard, and Rachel Milne.
