Swansea’s Shadow and Reflection contains a duplicitous, otherworldly
quality. Swansea captures the nuance of dreamy environment
with impressionistic fervour: the watery ground churns with
underlying graphite texture, descending into a scratchy ambiguous
mist. An oil-spill glare of coloured light becomes a consuming
fixation. Spellbound, it holds her figure in mystical sway:
impossibly showing presence, reflection, and ominous shadow
as fractured sense of self; a sublime landscape of inner contemplation.
