About the artwork
Tracing cast light on a neighbourhood property. Thematically considering creating permanence amidst transience. Meticulously etching fleeting changes of light that come with time of day and seasonality. Coming to terms with change and my fears around it. Archiving a world familiar everyday In the same streets walked and revisited yet changing every second elementally. The practice allowing me to find peace in transience and change as I consider what home space looks like.
I started this series amidst moving houses and spending time between Perth and the Southwest. All landscapes I call home but my sense of self felt displaced and un anchored. Identifying that I find peace within landscapes and solace identifying patterns and rythems repeated in nature allows to settle and feel that sense of self is not tied to one thing but can change, move, evolve and be recognised in multiple states.

About the artist
Eleisha Pirouet is an illustrator and painter whose practice explores connection to place, identity, and the quiet rhythms of everyday landscapes. Working between plein air painting and drawing, their work emerges from being physically embedded within the environments it references—walking, observing, and returning to familiar paths to
notice subtle shifts in light, texture, and form.
Through illustration, they translate these moments into intimate visual studies that frame small windows into the landscapes they inhabit and love. Their work often reflects on themes of home, transience, and belonging, tracing shared patterns between distant
environments and local neighbourhood spaces.
Grounded in attentive observation and the act of slowing down, Eleisha’s practice considers how noticing the ordinary can foster a deeper sense of connection, continuity, and care for place.
