About the artist
Jamie is a 2017 BA in Fine Arts graduate from LASALLE College of the Arts, and her art practice specialises in meticulously blending colours to both create and investigate its movement and serendipitous outcomes. Jamie is interested in the sense of tension that boils between the stillness and phenomenal movement of an image. By creating works that lack a focal centre and that are without a balanced composition, our eyes are constantly on the move. This inability to focus on the image prompts contemplation between the viewer and the work, seeing and experiencing and intangible in-between. Jamie aims to investigate this effect of vision through exploring ideas of colour, light and visual perception in its relation to abstract painting, to reveal the duality of space within them.
