“Every work of art stems from a wound in the soul of the artists… Art is a psychological component of the auto-immune system that gives expression to the healing process.”
“Rebekah’s sensitive abstractions evoke to the elusive, constantly shifting landscape we carry within us, an intimate yet unknowable territory, like a tentative presence that can be sensed fleetingly at the threshold of language but beyond what can be expressed.”
My paintings hover between abstraction and a recognisable presence. I see each work as an intimate portrait. The paintings embrace and probe at my sense of femininity and the complex feelings involved. There are centres of tension and depth within an orchestration of sparseness and calm, imbalance next to poise, floating and sinking, vulnerability but with teeth. For me, the work represents a form of processing, articulating, understanding and interpreting the contours of experiences and emotions on my own terms. The themes and narratives I delve into in my paintings weave stories around the cycles of life and the natural world: the experiences, emotional and energetic states that entails.
