Michelle Kettle
Sunlight on a building will suddenly draw your attention where it may have been overlooked before. A curtain stirring or a door closing, you suddenly look back, look up, or glance across the street. There is a two sided voyeurism although neither viewers are to be seen. Divided by space and walls, with you on the outside. Michelle has a fascination with Australian architecture and the subtle shifts in light, shadow and mood through cropped images of uniquely Melbourne facades. Michelle is intrigued by the often overlooked, familiar scenes of our everyday experience - somewhat of a voyeur in her explorations of local buildings, curious to the life that lays beyond the half drawn curtains and closed doors she paints.
Michelle Kettle is from Dublin, Ireland and studied ceramics at the National College of Art and Design. Upon graduating in 2009 she moved to Melbourne, where without access to a ceramic studio and kiln she began oil painting.
