Reimagined Landscape

“I am interested in landscape through the lens of memory, evoking intuitive, otherworldly paintings. My most recent body of work, ‘Reimagined Landscape’, aims to explore a psychological narrative of memory, identity and the subconscious. My intention is to distort the conventional landscape,  foregoing representation and replacing it with imagination. Leaning into the recesses of my mind, I hope to provide an autobiographical viewpoint on landscape that comes from an innate connection to nature and my sense of self. These whimsical works are a vivid example of how the mind distorts memory. The paintings hang on the brink of reason; they cling to the edges of the mind like a forgotten dream. Working in this way allows me to reveal my inner narrative with lively scatterings of paint and wistful mark-making. In this exhibition, I have departed from representation to embody a much more playful expression of my inner world. Sometimes dark, occasionally outlandish and wildly unreasonable, these works are the epitome of my childlike imagination taking hold” – Meg Walters
