Into the lull 2 – 81x121cm

Experimental drawing underpins her artistic practice, including site activation, en plein-air drawing and sculpture. In her en plein-air practice, Homewood tracks time, tide, wind, swell and place. Mapping the ephemerality of the marine landscape; Its magnitude and fragility.  This process is central to how Homewood experiences the sea as a mariner and tracks her stability. Homewood uses a unique array of “pencils” in the work: builders chalk, an electric sander, a grinder, a drill and basalt coastal cliff rock. These lines carve into the work, through the five lineal layers of black gesso, orange spray paint and white house paint. This deliberate mark-making references the imagined, disputed and contested borders which blur our own boundaries within the landscape. Homewood captures her body’s implicit connection with the sea’s political, emotional and environmental influence. As a mariner, Homewood is bearing witness to the lay of the land
