These original works on paper have developed over time, as a response to solitary ventures claimed from a wild and mountainous region of eastern Spain.
They represent a distillation of sensory experiences while walking through mountain pass and riverbed - gestural marks that hold the rhythm and colour of an encounter. ​

STATEMENT:
Lizzie Thurman is a visual artist, addressing common human enquiry through physical and sensory experiences.
​
Her recent work is an evolving retort to the solitary ventures she undertakes within the exposed rock forms and animal pathways of the Matarraña region of eastern Spain.
From a terraced roof-top she works on paper, revealing abstracted connections with her immediate landscape. Collected rock fragments inform her palette while atmospheric hues produce a luminosity of sensibilities - tensions within her work that develop through processes.
​
These powerful frameworks are intended to acknowledge the potency of geograhical form while allowing an essential void for contemplation and diverse, personal interpretations.
