Lottie Consalvo

Lottie Consalvo’s interests lie in our invisible worlds; thought, imagination, dreams and possibilities beyond the real are key themes throughout her work. With a practice traversing painting, performance, video, and sculpture, she looks at the limitations of the known world and attempts to push beyond the veil. She parallels the unknown in human existence with natural phenomena in nature by drawing out the mystical properties of the ocean, the horizon, the bush and other species. She parallels the unknown in nature with our inner-worlds and draws out ideas around desire, longing, loss the ungraspable and the ineffable.

Consalvo’s performance works take form as video or live performances. More recently the artist utilised the imagination of the audience to present a performance where she was not physically present, but rather the audience witnessed her actions within their minds. Her paintings further this conversation where the artist creates a physical presence for thought, imagination, memory, and psychological transitions. Working with a restricted palette across mediums, Consalvo often grasps monumental forms and uses the high contrast of opposing dark and light to mark out a place for the unknown and the intangible.
