Title

Light Trails

Description

Celia uses mediums and techniques for their synergies with subject matter, allowing her to think about a subject through a form of re-enactment. The focus of her present work is the phenomenon of light and our perception of it. The painting travelled with Celia to 3 locations: the remote flooded Hodge Close quarry, her home studio and the gallery space. She is exploring modes of enveloping the viewer in the narrative of this changing light whilst also drawing attention to the nature of perception as filtered through the history of painting and scientific discovery. This sits within her ongoing investigation of remote industrial subterranean sites across the UK. Read more...
