Lizzie Henson

Through materiality, the physicality of colour, and line, Lizzie creates works that have a sense of motion and presence. Juxtapositions in scale, weight, and pace provide the viewer with tactile and sensory pieces with an impact. Confronting the viewer with intangible spaces that make you question not who you are but where you are through tonality and surface. Reducing the number of elements within my work means Lizzie has more awareness of the materials she uses. Practicing intuition and spontaneity to create pieces that cannot be replicated requires playing with the known and the unknown. The fluid nature of her practice means she is not working towards meeting a resolution but instead capturing movement in something that is static through the flow of the ink, dye, and her body moving. From serene applications of colour to blocked out spaces and dramatic gestures, Lizzie's work aims to create arresting metaphorical spaces with notions of trace and physicality.
