Each form grows from a repeated gesture, evolving in response to the clay and to what is emerging. Hovering between biomorphism and abstraction, they activate our tendency to see faces.

I made a paint from coal, tar's cousin, that washed up as pebbles on the coast of Suffolk, England – it is several million years of squashed plant material, unearthed and tumbled in a grey sea. The lines also sediment, here and there, the reflected tree across the street. There is a different kind of time in the film that plays, barely discernible, on the floor. It's an intrusion, a dusting of foreign light that ghosts the space, that almost seems to fit in, but doesn't get away with it. It's hot and the penny is dropping. The sunlight fell a while ago, on concrete, on cracked stone; through a grove of ancient olives, through the leaves of a pecan tree that won't produce this year. <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c7c6a38170f715ff8f915e32bc4e4eec44503e835f715e67ac678d666dbcadc3/IMG_1553.JPG" data-mid="222536405" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c7c6a38170f715ff8f915e32bc4e4eec44503e835f715e67ac678d666dbcadc3/IMG_1553.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5d3293ad1605980fac2dd11ca8a4483b4cbe75563f12b0c4fedacc956f907581/Tar-lines--detail.JPG" data-mid="222536434" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5d3293ad1605980fac2dd11ca8a4483b4cbe75563f12b0c4fedacc956f907581/Tar-lines--detail.JPG" /> Tar lines (detail from inside; from outside)2022 <img width="2415" height="3220" width_o="2415" height_o="3220" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/df4c1ddf78d2dec6ca3df1371d1b59bc21d079e0571025b0bd0090b579ee4fc5/olive-grove.jpg" data-mid="222537555" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/df4c1ddf78d2dec6ca3df1371d1b59bc21d079e0571025b0bd0090b579ee4fc5/olive-grove.jpg" /> ‘Lag’ at dusk, with projected video work Grove2022 https://aileenharvey.co.uk/Homepage Mon, 01 Jul 2024 11:10:00 +0000 Aileen Harvey https://aileenharvey.co.uk/Homepage <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f53d5eff16a193d86efa1e4cd0d069823b448757b0b6b38a44e378f590db589f/Pulando.JPG" data-mid="246250183" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f53d5eff16a193d86efa1e4cd0d069823b448757b0b6b38a44e378f590db589f/Pulando.JPG" />Pulando 2025 sea coal, casein and honey on found marble 19 x 10cm https://aileenharvey.co.uk/Information Mon, 01 Jul 2024 11:10:00 +0000 Aileen Harvey https://aileenharvey.co.uk/Information Information I’m a British artist living in Lisbon. I work with earth, plant pigments and perceptions of landscape to make semi-figurative drawings. The drawings are gestural and encourage the expressive qualities of the materials. I’m interested in how the processes and vocabulary of drawing work in other fields, so the drawings often stray into painting or sculpture.&nbsp; My work explores collaboration and in-betweenness, making room for chance, play and what happens as a dialogue between a person and a place, an artist and their materials. I think about light and memory, the changeable vitality of matter, and how time takes various shapes. I studied philosophy (MA Edinburgh; MPhil Cambridge) and then sculpture (BA Wimbledon); both influence my writing. My art research has been published as book chapters (in&nbsp;Northern Light&nbsp;2018; Proximity and Distance&nbsp;2020; Disturbed Ecologies 2023) and in online journals (NANO&nbsp;2014; Mediapolis&nbsp;2023).

These painterly projects utilise earth pigments crafted from local soils and organic matter, painting on nonconventional materials from found wood to windows. Gestural images drawn from lost items, landscapes, and water patterns emerge from swirls and stains of textural surfaces; some appear as though through the coalescence of natural forces, others through the removal rather than application of pigment, forming semi-abstracted shapes that nod to the complex relationships between places, people, and the transformations of chance.”annasouter.net/
