Empirical research consistently indicates that contact with the natural world is associated with broad psychological and physiological benefit.
Taking the restorative ability of nature into consideration, Price wonders how this might be represented visually. Looking at traditional landscape paintings, she wonders what more could be said through the choice of medium, gestural marks and colour selection that might echo this research.
Price experiments with high key coloured grounds, layered glazing and textured gestural marks made with different tools. Working from photographs as well as en plein air, she looks to some of her favourite natural spaces in and around Canberra for inspiration. Having walked these trails and looked upon these spaces many, many times, Price reflects upon the solace she has found while there.
