Natalie Mather

Master of Fine Art

For a long time, I suspected that what I was making was centred on a desire to transform, or be transported from, the constraints of ‘consensus reality’ by providing both the means and destination for transportation through painting.
By focusing on capturing, producing and communicating permutations of the heterotopia, I theorise space through painting in an attempt to create a ‘dazzling variety’ of spatial and relational possibilities. Where do we go when we make and/or view a painting? How can I describe or depict the ‘placeness’ of that imaginative site?
