FLOAT
VIVIENNE ADENEY
14 NOVEMBER–1 December

Float explores feelings of calm and stillness observed through floating in/on water. The embodied experience of feeling the viscosity of water by floating in the landscape invites feelings of slowness and calmness. Observations of this landscape in the form of woodblock printing acts as a way to absorb/record the vibrancy of the landscape as carving and printing invites you to become fully present. Each print in this collection emerges from prints of two different wood blocks which are assembled together to create a reflection of the landscape. Nature becomes an instinctive anchor to the present moment, inviting us to appreciate our surroundings and engage with the environment.
