Abstract

Delicately rendered, the painterly forms presented in Ackland's solo exhibition Mementos, possess a quality of movement suggestive of the ethereal. Imbuing meaning within the delicate folds of personal clothing her garments are rendered as though caught in the act of slipping from the body. Floating, translucent and sheer, these cast aside clothes suggest a connectedness between the body and the void, and hint toward the psychological shroud or wrapping that houses our concept of the self.
