Artist's talk by Amber Wallis
Artist's talk by Amber Wallis : In conversation with exhibition curator, Kezia Geddes
Saturday 12 June 11:00am - 12:00pm (Midday)
Amber Wallis speaks about her studio-based practice and process of painting. Wallis’s work presents a utopia/dystopia to tussle real and imagined stories in paint. Her work begins with images, sexual, and of the domestic space and countercultural architecture. Her early imagery initiates a call and response to mark-making, erasure, layering and paint. Imagery is obscured because there comes a point in Wallis’s mind where it is less relevant. The subject is a means into form, colour, and texture, and how they sit against one another to activate the picture. The reference material is there however it is pushed into the background like subconscious memories.
