Eve Aspland She/Her (b.2003) makes paintings, drawings and sounds in a gestural act, always directed by feeling. Post-Industrial spaces have a character of their own, a beauty in the rot, where greenhouses meld with dilapidated buildings, wetlands and the circular forms of radar transmitters. The landscape memory of our lineage resurfaces from the queasy earth and Aspland attempts to recall hers through sedimentary materials of sand, chalk pastel, bog-oak sawdust, thin washes of oil paint and disused fenland words. Deep listening and looking to hear the silting of the years in an act of misremembering.
