Listen "NORTHERN VOICES: Episode 2 - Louise Fletcher"
Episode Synopsis
Interview recorded in March 2021
"I create multi-layered, semi-abstract paintings in which landscape serves as a jumping off point for exploration – an exploration of my own feelings, perceptions, and moods, but also an exploration of paint, colour, line, and texture. The results are often surprising, offering a sense of place while also hinting at multiple deeper meanings.
My paintings evolve over time, layer upon layer, and in this way, they mirror life and the landscape that has inspired them. Each new layer adds depth, but the history remains underneath and is glimpsed now and again. Each mark is evidence of what went before, each colour choice reflects the moment in which it was chosen. Just as in life, nothing can ever be fully erased; nothing is ever without meaning."
