JENNI GRANHOLM

Twine explores Granholm’s relationship to her homeland, in particular as a place of healing. With a crispness of visual representation, soothing colour palette and fragile light, her elegant depiction of the landscape promotes the pursuit of harmony and self-renewal. By minimising detail in favour of horizons and boundaries they are landscapes of a state of mind, evoking a connection between artist and place.

The large-scale compositions also engage with the notion of landscape not as place but as space, as a symbol of freedom. The vast open spaces create a compositional void that is suggestive of a meditative state of mind.

Each image is the result of a considered process where the emphasis is on communicating an emotional state that it goes beyond the index of the photograph to ultimately create a metaphysical self-portrait.
