Ffiona Lewis Paintings from the Pumphouse
Back
Immersing herself in the landscape and local community, Lewis built up a library of field diaries, sketchbooks and ephemeral objects.
The body of paintings are her direct response to her new archive of visual vocabulary - large wall panel 'assemblages'.
They draw primarily from the shifting life and behaviour systems of the river estuaries, their mudflats, salt marshes and eventual contact with the shingle coastline.
Paintings that have been inspired by the trace elements and memories of her everyday - the end of meals and the passing glances while on her road, man's interventions into the natural world. She takes pains to add her own mark to the everyday, drawing the viewer into a quiet, contemplative space.
