Where The Sky Meets The Sea and The Garden is a Dream - Tiffany Hampton

Where The Sky Meets The Sea and The Garden is a Dream by WA artist Tiffany Hampton aka Tiggy X  - Finalist in the 2024 Heysen Prize for Landscape.

I'm currently exploring fantastical, utopian, apocalyptic surrealist landscapes, with compositions created from a collage of both my direct and secondhand experiences of nature. Fascinated by cottage islands of vegetation in urban gardens, proliferous with textures. Winding manmade trails through the Adelaide hills. Landscapes curated by human touch. Lines and borders that separate things. I'm often overwhelmed by the infinite details of the natural world. I become lost in psychedelic colours, the hairs on flower petals, the endless variety in the shape of leaves. I can only assume the octopus and myself to be kindred, as they move about examining texture and colour. Using their entire bodies, their whole being. I'm exploring the painterly representation of this physical experience. My practice derives from texta and pen drawing, botanical illustration, UV block colour graffiti and macro photography.
