'A Dim, Purple Kind Of Smell' presents a new body of work by Theresa Waugh, exploring how encounters with daily movements can be translated into mark-making.

Waugh’s practice centres an investigation into the fundamentals of painting, through colour, pattern, composition and form.

Simultaneously, she questions traditional aesthetic notions of beauty, incorporating playful elements to sustain what she coins the vitality of painting.

Through this new suite of intimate works, Waugh uses painting and embroidery to explore how this vitality has been recently sustained and informed by her role as a mother. Surprising colour combinations, repeated shapes and playful compositions are incorporated, all created on her coffee table-studio from an environment of little sleep and vividly coloured duplo.

'A Dim, Purple Kind Of Smell' is an experimentation, a slow translation from these everyday moments into creative practice.
