Let The Light Shine is an abstract celebration of Australian life. Having returned to Newcastle NSW in 2023, after an enforced sabbatical in the UK due to COVID, Eira felt compelled to express her journey, both emotionally and physically, of reacquainting with the Australian landscape. This piece is one of many works created during 2024 as a response to this transition.
Artist Bio: Inspired by daily life and lived experiences, Eira responds to the world around her by building colour, shape and surface texture meditatively and intuitively; ambiguous marks allow the viewer freedom for their own interpretation based on personal experience, while partially submerged forms within the many layers hint at the artists subconscious thoughts and experiences. Eira's approach to mark making is experimental and playful, resulting in energetic and lighthearted works that seek to generate an appreciation for everyday life and simple pleasures.
