Past Carla McRae, The Form is the Feeling

Opening
Saturday 26 June
01:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Exhibition Dates
10 June - 11 July

"I’ve been enjoying exploring new processes of navigating and translating my internal dialogue with the world — finding more nuanced ways of giving form to feelings. Shape, colour, line and texture offer a freeing, invigorating and consoling place to retreat to when the world feels uncertain and fractured.

The work in this show was created over a two year period, spanning a residency in Belgrave in 2019 exploring new mediums and processes, drawing as meditative exercise during the isolation of 2020, and bringing it all together this year in the studio.

The Form is the Feeling is a space where the mind and body can come to rest. These new works evoke the forms of nature and emotion, radiating energy, life and colour. How to express the optimism of a morning, warmth of the sun, blades of grass in a breeze, the melancholy of nostalgia? Can one find a portrait of the self in the shape of a leaf or a flower? What colour captures the essence of a feeling? How to hold the micro and macro, light and dark, in the same hand all at once? Sometimes it is a comfort to know that a perfect puzzle of fragmented pieces makes something whole."
