Pool Series featured in Saint Cloche Group Exhibition HOLIDAY DREAMING
Fragments of water surface, edges, planes, shadowy depths and reflections are observed in a poolside space and finding the hidden beauty in that familiar body of enclosed water – a pool. Unified by a cool, crisp palette of aqua, azure blues, cobalt, whites and mint, these paintings awaken the sense and capture emotive memories of holiday ease and warm lazy days, whilst highlighting the beauty and potential of the fleeting moment, and the shifting luminous colour that dances within that space. It takes a state of being ‘abstracted’ that is to have a degree of absence of mind for a state of true ‘presence’ to occur. In this state things can be seen anew, and beauty is everywhere. - Melinda Marshman
