Artist Statement
A small study of shadows falling around a swimmer drying out on the grass, a fleeting composition captured on a hot day at the river. The shadows were imposing, closing in on the figure. I wanted to catch them before they shifted.
About the Artist
Alice Fennessy
My work is currently intertwined with motherhood as I raise my two young children. I find myself endlessly fascinated by the juxtapositions or dualities thrown up by pregnancy and motherhood, how these experiences can be simultaneously beautiful and ugly, ordinary and other, tender and excruciating. My work explores these spaces through materials and compositions; disparate images from fleeting moments drawn together in stark tones on surfaces such as paper, silk or aluminium. My work aims to be sensitive and vulnerable, casting light on experiences of life often disregarded. I studied a Bachelor of Fine Art with Honours at Massey University CoCA, and also work as a gallery educator and art teacher.
