Pamela Honeyfield || Artist statement

I don’t always have the words, so I like to express my self through art. For me, art is not about placing a price tag, it’s about discovering something of yourself and the world as you move through the process of creating, and sometimes the result, the product of that process is aesthetically pleasing to yourself and to others.

I don’t intend to allow a colour, shape, line or title to ‘close’ off my work but to think of it as a window of thought, open ended, a reflection or reference for others to identify with and respond to. How would I best describe my work? Abstract yes, digestible landscape with hints of the obvious. Australia has a wealth of abundant colour, I love autumn so I often find myself painting with the colours that derive from that season.
Sometimes it’s a ‘scape’ not necessarily of or about the land but of an emotion or experience. If I’m moved by a place visited, travelled or enjoyed I may reflect on the colour, mood or atmosphere, this may provide for a possible series, however I don’t always have set rules for painting. Sometimes I just go about painting and allow the marks and the movement of colour and shape to play, interact. Making abstract art is an art in itself, there are many variables and you have to be willing to lose and regain until it works. The best marks made and paintings created are when I seemingly disappear for a while in my work, and when I return then I know that I have had some kind of ‘happening’ with the canvas.
