towards light | 2022

Boulter’s latest series of paintings on linen, board and steel chronicle a metaphysical journey, a daydream, stretching across space and time to an imaginary destination – a place of reverie. The artist explains, “For me, reverie is the mind untethered at play. In the quiet solitude of the places I love, I am free to wander and wonder, what hidden colours and visions emerge? What memories, what ineffable realisations sustain me?” Certain Tasmanian landscapes, so fond and familiar, are her departure point to entering into a liminal state where the senses are sharpened and the world feels intensely evocative. This concept of ‘departure’ encapsulates the emotional valency of the works – as a feeling of being comforted by and embedded in place whilst harbouring a yearning to leave, a longing for the unknown.
