Laura Menzies' abstract canvases seem to capture fleeting, intangible emotions: like the simultaneous experience of realising and forgetting on the point of sleep, or the bewildering feeling of deja vu. As in Turner's epic, formless vortexes layers of translucent paint, applied and scratched away, suggest ideas just waiting to be born from the ether. The titles of her works similarly lead the viewer to consider the intangible relationships between forces and shapes yet to take definite form. Contemplative, calmly opening onto vast themes, these paintings take initiative in setting an atmosphere for a room.
