The \u201cLayers\u201d project has been deeply influenced by my personal journey, from becoming a new mother before covid, resulting in isolation, depression and disengagement from my own family, to a life changing decision to actively engage with art. That realisation came from being raised by an artist mother and grandmother, and as a result it has led me to seeking deeper connection with other creative women – mothers, who told me their stories, while dancing freely and their movement being captured on paper.<\/p>

More than a collection of images, \u201cLayers\u201d is a kaleidoscope of life, change, and ongoing evolution. I demonstrate fragmented bodies in motion, echoing memories, emotions, and inner processes. The use of oil pastels, acrylic markers, and layered vellum creates transparency, inviting the viewer to look beyond the surface, to notice and accept their own layers. The central motif is the body – or fragments of it – layered to reveal the complexity of the female psyche and energy and the healing power of dance – creative movement.
Each installation is one person, composed from 4 pieces 70 x 100cm, placed between one layer of glass and one plexi, with remote controlled lamps illuminating the pieces from the inside and functioning as the beating heart underneath all the layers. Vellum is not an accidental choice – paper wrinkles when in contact with liquid, most marks are immediately visible. Paper ages, changes colour, it\u2019s alive and always evolving. Just like us and our relationships with each other and with ourselves: mothers, daughters, grandmothers<\/p>

In my work, I emphasize feeling and experiencing rather than intellectual understanding. It\u2019s an invitation to open your heart to emotions, sensitivity, and the hidden strength that lies within layers of identity and family heritage.<\/p>

\u201cLayers\u201d celebrates the spontaneous, the fatigued, and the silent moments expressed through movement. It\u2019s a story about self-discovery, questioning, and having the courage to embrace one\u2019s full self \u2014 a reflection of how family shapes and defines us, through both visible and hidden layers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
