untitled 01
eva lister
'untitled 01' is an exploration of the intensity within human emotion, the relationship between material, texture, markings, colour, and feeling. the deepest blue of solitude, the blood red of rage.
within this journey, i come to understand the calm that resides even in the worst sensations, and how emptying them into a manifestation such as a mask, painting or photograph, is an act of peacefulness.
with this, my full installation is intended to reflect that release - an aesthetically beautiful composition of grief, pain, and hurt.

whispers of thoughts accompanied by selected poetry and writings by maggie nelson and sylvia plath

tied together with my own handwriting in black ink, taking its own journey across the wall

thread tangled and stretching across every part - every thought, feeling, connected

whispers in broad daylight, unheard

my words, my emotions, my hurt, my humanity - are all my art, too.
