Ingrid Daniell

ARTIST STATEMENT

I am constantly inspired by the landscapes that shape my life experience; in particular lutruwita/Tasmania and Wadadwurrung Country/Surf Coast, Victoria; spending time immersed in these places allows me to pay close attention to their unique nature and to connect with the natural rhythms and energies of the environment. Being quiet and present in the landscape gives me the opportunity to observe the chance moments nature throws; sunrise and sunsets, in the deep of night the bioluminescence dancing on the Tasman Sea, the full moon and ethereal sun bleached days.

I marvel at constant landmarks found in my times here; the reefs, familiar rock formations, headlands I know by heart, the mystery of deep rock pools, drifts of shells that hug the east coastline and reefs of lutruwita, vast sand dunes, the lush bush alive with native bees and butterflies; the winding paths that take me through these once wild places.

Through drawing and painting I observe the strange nature of memory, the exaggeration of moments and the punctuation of certain elements experienced in the landscape to create a new reality…re-imagining these moments on canvas is a bridge to my lived experiences, my dreams, and the awe of those moments where the veil between worlds is thin, and ultimately an expression of hope for our earth.

Through my practice I find context using the landscape as a metaphor for our fragile earth, the devastation of climate change in Anthropocene; I fascinated with the concepts of time, deep time, the spiritual concept of thin places, and the human and instinctive need to connect to natural environments, belong and seek hope. 

Through my work I seek to capture the essence of profound fleeting moments, the beauty and ephemeral nature inherent in the continuous unfolding of time. Through symbolic marks reflecting the stars, the fleeting cloud of butterflies, the drifts of shells and swarms of native bees in summer, I strive to echo the interconnectedness of all temporal dimensions.

BIO

Painter and visual artist, Ingrid Daniell is inspired by the landscapes that shape her life experience; in particular luturwita /Tasmania and Wadadwurrung Country / Surf Coast, Victoria; where she divides her time living. Spending time immersed in these places allows her to pay close attention to their unique nature and to observe and connect with the natural rhythms and energies of the environment, translating these experiences from memory into her paintings.

In 1993 Ingrid Daniell completed a Bachelor of Art in Textiles and Fashion, majoring in Costume Design at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia. Daniell shifted her art practice to painting in 2014 extending her love of colour, texture and drama onto the canvas and has since been exhibiting regularly in group and solo exhibitions.
