Anne Marie Russell

Anne Marie Russell is a Sheffield based Artist working in both 2D acrylic painting and 3D multimedia installation. She uses colour and shape as symbols of other worlds of emotion and cognition. This is inspired by the boundaries between land and sea as a metaphor for experience of the physical overlapping the invisible world. To denote the presence of other realities, she paints using colours as a precise frequency to carry the emotional charge of detachment from the present moment. Seeking to invoke the opening of a doorway to the Ever Present Now, in which the painting becomes the anchor point, and the aperture to an uncontrolled stream of consciousness: you can enter a bigger sort of space normally hidden from our perception, where the subconscious is at play.

The square opens on the surface of a sphere; that is itself on the inside of another universe. She is standing behind the painting, having stepped through into that world, while simultaneously standing here next to you. Experiencing the interphase where dimension crossing seems possible. Finding delight and pleasure in a moment that perfectly resonates with an inner state. This body of work is inspired by a summer day in August at the beach in East Yorkshire. Inviting openness of interpretation, and acknowledging perceptual variations by the viewer, they welcome the multifarious experience in each person. Modulated by mood, memory, personality, beliefs, and present life awareness, the Artworks actively invite recreation again in your mind.
