Paige Northwood 'sense fragments', 2021

Paige Northwood 'sense fragments', 2021 is from the artist's recent body of work, 'Meditations On Red' that was exhibited earlier this year at Jerico Contemporary.

Through her creative process centred in ritual and catharsis, the exhibition sees Northwood explore themes of ceremony, womanhood, and life cycles. Drawing on her experiences of living on country in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and Ntaria (Hermannsburg), informed by her time living and working alongside Aboriginal artists and communities, through her embodied approach to mark-making Northwood reflects on all she has learned and encountered. Extending on the artist’s previous bodies of work that have utilised found materials and pigments reminiscent of her immediate surroundings in the desert of central Australia, the exhibition considers the interconnectedness between place, spirituality, and transformation.
