Julie Lawrence

My work is rooted in the spiritual perspective of the Visionary Landscape artists such as Samuel Palmer and William Blake, and I strive to relate to the landscape in a way that is primal and intuitive. My artistic responses to place are deeply rooted in my daily walks through Stapledon Woods and Caldy Hill. Here I experience the changing light and weather, observing how that reflects the passage of time through the seasons and over the day.    I also respond to my own passage through the landscape and consider how that is transformed through memory too.

The experience of walking in all weathers is the starting point for my practice, and the catalyst for a continuing physicality involved in my adding and subtracting working process.
On return to my studio, I work from memory using either pastels, or acrylic paint in response to what I sense in the landscape. My process involves working intensely and intuitively, adding, subtracting, revealing and concealing, testing the limits of media and surface, and considering the impermanence of self and place.

I t seek to develop a narrative which evolves instinctively from a reciprocal dialogue between self and place. I strive to invite the viewer into this liminal territory which straddles the line between nostalgic association and something unknown.
