Stephanie Tuckwell

Stephanie Tuckwell’s work is a response to movement through the landscape; a glimpse from a train, a view from a mountaintop, being airborne in a glider, or standing on the edge of a cliff. Stephanie seeks to arrive at an image that is a distillation of the experience of being present in the world at a particular moment.

Just as the focus of her inspiration lies at the edges of the air, land and sea, her creative practise lies in the area between the international and incidental. Working at these edges demands a mindful awareness and presence that embodies her experiences of the landscape.

Stephanie Tuckwell works in series: her working methods tend to be swift and direct, shifting between drawing and painting, sometimes to linger and work intensely, other time to work more sparingly and moving on rapidly.

Exhibited at the Griffin Gallery in Water + Colour in February 2014.
