Eleanor Laver
Bachelor of Fine Arts (Drawing & Printmaking)
For me, meaning is uncovered through the process of making. I have been trying to understand the effect of intuition on my work, testing mediums that are both free and controlled. With paper and pencil, I am liberated to make gestures and marks that catch sentiments as they happen. Here, the work uncovers and clarifies its own meaning: the meditative colours, the smudge of the charcoal, the hatch of the pencil. With metalwork I am forced into a way of making that is planned and calculated: measured, clamped, tacked then fixed together. Caught between these two ways of working, I attempt to uncover what these outcomes represent. To me, the work evokes personal narratives that are heavily abstracted, aiming to be enigmatic and chaotic, yet contemplative and expressive.
