Melissa Boughey expresses her attachment to land and place with works on paper board with oil and beeswax and a 4-metre drawing made ‘en plein air’. Boughey’s representations are drawn from time spent immersed in her environment while walking, driving and camping.
“Each work is a journey in itself, a moving through the landscape, a psychological terrain to traverse. Like walking up a hill with the landscape, the painting reveals itself to me during the process.” – Melissa Boughey
