ROSI GRIFFIN

ARTIST STATEMENT
My goal is to create subtle and moving works that explore a universal human response to transition and displacement. The motif has evolved from the migration between countries, trying to re-connect and to find a foothold in a new environment.

The figure in my works stands alone against a vast and weathered landscape, lost, contemplating the next move, or just looking. A man standing with his back to us suggests that we see the landscape through his eyes. What we see is not the real world, but an inner world, an ideal place for contemplation and reflection.

My painting process involves the use of oil, acrylic and mixed media. I build up many layers and develop calligraphic structures by drawing lines with oil sticks and thin brushes. The lines can become quite detailed but then I enjoy the process of destroying the familiar again so I paint over it and discover something new. I also scratch back into the wet surface to expose the underlying surface of the painting.
