About the artwork
This painting was part of a series that explored recurring dreams with a sense of particular place and an immediacy of being. The sea functions as a container for a myriad of meanings, and its transience and ever-moving nature defy categorical solidity. A strange limited palette evokes a sense of unknown, subverting a seascape into a dreamscape.
About the artist
Nicole Steenhof is a visual artist currently working with painting and sculpture based in Boorloo, Perth. Propelled by an interest in ocean studies, Steenhof works towards an embodied painting process, alert to sensations beyond sight. Her sculpture work is made from found and post consumer items, concentrating on form and connection to histories of oceans.
In her latest collection, she is developing ideas on how we engage with the agential life of the sea with tenderness, to relearn connection.
