Delicate and immersive, this piece exudes a dreamlike quality, drawing you into its depths. Layers of oil paint float above a fluid acrylic base, with the artist using turpentine-soaked brushes to gently dissolve sections of colour – like uncovering hidden histories beneath the surface. Dry brushing reveals intricate textures, exposing the raw weave of the canvas and creating a sense of time and erosion within the composition.

The artist discusses how her figures reveal themselves to her while she works the canvas. Rather than alluding to specific characters the forms appear ambiguous and free of a fixed identity. ‘Figures coagulate as fragments of sculpture or restless spirits, momentarily visible through a fracture in the veil. An ethereal hand reaches up from moss-green depths, while the features of a face become apparent in the absent space Loren carves from her paint. Under the power of Loren’s spell, paint is alchemical, oscillating between liquid and solid, transparent, and opaque, invoking figure and form.
