EMBER FAIRBAIRN-RAMSEY -
30 September – 31 October

To Ember, creating art is a communion with creation, it is a meditation where one loses self and merges into all that is and all that is yet to be. The artwork can also be a contemplation, rather than a mental, conceptual idea of artmaking.

To a large degree it is the process and the form which shapes the content of the work, employing colour, mark making , symbol and shape through oil paint, and texture via the encaustic process.

Ember has exhibited since 2000, selling work and completing commissions. Prior to which she trained in Queensland. She has sold work in Australia, U.S.A, Canada

“Most of my abstract painting is about the creative process, mingled with the essence of memories, ideas and encounters …the end result is never in my mind because my job is to discover new things as I’m doing. My arts practice is forever static, moving, expanding, shifting in new directions as I experiment with varies materials, techniques and technology. This allows me to express myself in a new way. Travel has had the biggest influence on my work. I can no longer stay with only abstraction to express myself. Just as… I can no longer ignore what goes on around me in the world” -
