Artist Statement

 

Hazelle Palmer is drawn to a dynamic palette of rich, rustic tones that evoke the colours and memories of her childhood experiences in the 1970s and celebrate the tropical hues often associated with her Caribbean heritage. Fascinated by the ways in which she can add depth to her work, she explores how colour is used to define identity and how the use of texture and patterns bring those identities to life and captures moments defined by her experiences.  Her work is always evolving from the abstract to collage to figurative depictions but central is an element of perfect imperfection – often visible in how she blends colour, layers paper in collages, or the sometimes-awkward positions of the figures in her work to suggest the challenges we all face fitting in.
