LIZ PRIESTLEY

Also showing Sculpture by Sian Watson

Exhibition runs until 7 JUNE. All welcome.

Liz Priestley’s contemporary landscapes occupy an in-between moment, where land and sky dissolve into atmosphere, and light is suspended at a particular moment of day. Built up through layers of pigmented beeswax, fused with heat, the encaustic surfaces hold a depth and translucency unique to the medium.

Priestley deliberately employs encaustic (wax) as a medium in her creative process, drawn to its architectural essence and its capacity for reduction. This allows her to construct a narrative by building up or selectively carving, scraping and melting away. Her work explores the immediate physical landscape as well as that of the internal landscape of memory and emotional connections to place and time. The resulting images are vehicles by which the viewer may experience their own epiphany of personal, binding memories.
