ARTIST STATEMENT
"These two small works use a minimal colour palette to create strong impact at an intimate scale. Conceived as companion pieces, they explore the balance between looking outward and looking within. One reflects our cosmic place in the wider world, while the other turns inward to the human self — our bodies, our interior life, and the experience of being. Together, they hold the tension between outer awareness and inner reflection, though each can stand alone.
BIO
Jasmine is a self taught artist based in regional Victoria. She spent most of her formative years moving about, before settling with her family in the Northern Territory, a remote part of the country. Here she lived until she was twenty six.
For Jasmine the process, ritual and labour of painting itself are of integral importance to the finished piece, as are the intentions and musings that are imbued in every brushstroke. Her subject matter combines architectural forms and geometric imaginings which are used as metaphors to tell stories around our shared human experience. The drawing in, meditative and contemplative value of the paintings are meant to be an antidote to our busy, technological and image rich daily lives.
Over the last six years Jasmine has extended her studio practice to include both large scale paintings and installation pieces which further examine the themes present in her painted works.
