CENTRE OF YOUR ROOM

16th June – 1st July 2022

Cass Art Manchester

The title of the exhibition “Centre of Your Room”, is an extract from a poem by Margaret Atwood, The Moment. Taking inspiration from the poem, the exhibition explores the relationship humans have with the world, the landscape around us and how we navigate through it.

Imagination, memory and observation all come together in the work to offer us a fresh look on the world we live in. Through the act of painting and use of colour, a new truth, collective emotion and memory transcends. Fluidity and smears in the paint relate to an unease with the passing of time and the fast-paced world we live in but also connect us to memory, thoughts and feelings.

Each painting gives us a fleeting glimpse from Stefanie’s life, a life spent looking outwards as well as inwards, observing nature and people, connecting the dots, finding meaning in the overlooked and everyday moments, to then wonder when will the landscape take it all back.
