Chloë is a visual artist committed to reimagining landscape and exploring the process by which imagination can influence the way people establish a connection to physical space. Working between observation and found imagery her work reflects on how we inhabit space through visual identity acknowledging the role the body plays in experiencing a place. Her paintings explore the sublime power of nature reflecting on the influence of our imagination. Chloe’s use of colour evokes a sense of exotic escapism exploring the process by which imagination can intrude on physical and mental space and transport the viewer into unknown dream-like environments reflecting on local folklore her personal heritage and her journey into motherhood. Her work considers the limits of representation in relation to the imprecision of memory exploring the fragility of vision and our intrinsic attachment to landscapes which underpin our sense of identity. The power of our imagination is that it allows us to see things from more than one perspective imagining what was re-imagining what is and perhaps what could be.
