22 | Steeped In Memories | Trudi Harley | $4200 | Oil on Linen

Painted in direct response to my upbringing, this work explores how tenuous memories connect us to the past like fragile threads. Objects like detailed lace or distorted reflections in old teapots inspire fascination. Despite their seeming lack of connection, these strange circumstances yield enduring memories that possess no less beauty.
