Bee Hudson- A Place I Used to Know

Growing up, home was surrounded by mountains, open landscapes and a garden full of flowers that my dad lovingly grew. These works are an abstract response to those memories, less a literal representation of the landscape, and more an attempt to capture the feeling of being there: the colours, energy, familiarity and sense of belonging that I associate with home.

The theme feels especially poignant to me at the moment, as my dad is currently battling cancer. These works remind me of these memories and to reflect on how our understanding of “home” can change over time, becoming intertwined with the people, places and moments that have shaped us.
