Mailey Horner

My practice examines the interplay between abstraction and figuration, reducing the world to its most essential traces, images, and archetypes. I take stylistic inspiration from folk art, and thematic inspiration from the domestic sphere, fables, and the loose quality of memory. In my paintings, I use a loose style of paint handling and items plucked out of the domestic, to be framed in an imaginary, colourized landscape that I come to intuitively.
