Acrylic and Oil Pastel on Canvas (Framed in Victorian Ash)
37 inches X 33 inches
(Dis)locate explores the experience of becoming displaced within one's own body. Through abstraction, the work considers home not as a fixed place but as a shifting relationship to the self. The body, once familiar, can become unpredictable and unknowable, creating a tension between inhabiting and feeling estranged from it.
A natural, autumnal palette sits alongside gestural and frenetic mark-making, reflecting the dissonance between external composure and internal instability, restraint and rupture. Informed by an embodied practice grounded in movement and gesture, the painting expands notions of displacement beyond geography, exploring how profound bodily change can unsettle identity and belonging.
