Aimée Parrott and Deborah Hanson Murphy bring distinct and contrasting
In Parrott's The green fuse drives the flower, pulsing waves of purple and lilac are encircled by mossy greens and deep crimson rivulets. Titled after a Dylan Thomas poem, brush marks vibrate, evoking matter transforming at speed, at once a landscape, cell division, or petals opening—the force that drives growth also denotes impermanence and fragility. A pink cloud blooms in Radiating Affection, its coral and rose hues edged with soft, luminous tones. Inspired by Annie Besant’s 1905 theosophical book Thought-Forms, it's contours reverberate outwards, embodying emotion as a visible field of energy.
Parrott’s practice explores the relationship between painting, printmaking, and material transformation. Her process combines monotype printing, dye, appliqué, staining, and stitching, producing surfaces that bear the physical imprints of time, gesture, and touch. Forms emerge, recede, and reconstitute through accumulated layers, allowing the works to evolve rather than resolve.
