Jasmine Crisp - Artist statement
Title: ‘He thought about where the Monday went’
This design was originally inspired by the feeling of returning to a new home after a long period of travel, and the immediate strangeness and sensation of existing in multiple time zones, places and memories all at once. The painting features a semi literal demonstration of ‘one foot in, one foot out’ as a symbol of trying to be more present whilst also appreciating past memories and experiences. As inspired by the beach-side shack site, I felt that this concept would connect well with Tumby Bay, a place of restoration, family connections and holiday memories for many. It’s a playful and contemplative piece which has been designed to invite viewers, local or visiting, to interpret their own story and hopefully spark inquest or memories for many years to come.
Jasmine painted this piece using only brush, roller and hand-mixed colours from a palette of blue, red, yellow, black and white. She also incorporated items from the shack that this is painted on including the mat.
