Ingrid Daniell

This work by Ingrid Daniell is from the series 'Shells turn to sand in a sea of infinite suns' and reveals the essence of a fleeting moment, recognising the profound beauty and transience inherent in the continuous unfolding of time.

Daniell’s body of work is inspired by the landscapes that have shaped her life experience, particularly those in lutruwita/Tasmania. Daniell strives to listen to the landscape and translate her experience into the dream-like and spiritual, imbuing them with a symbolic narrative that speaks to the deeper meanings they hold.

Daniell says of this work: “I spend time immersed in the landscape, camping, close to the elements, inspired by the extensive lagoon system, the vast sand dunes, the shell drifts, all awe inspiring found along the East Coast of lutruwita, imbuing them with a symbolic narrative that speaks to the deeper meanings they hold.

“My creative process involves a deep immersion in the landscapes I am exploring, allowing me to fully connect with the natural rhythms and energies of the environment. Through this connection, I am able to create work that speaks to the inherent beauty and power of these places, while also acknowledging the fragility and vulnerability that is a hallmark of our time.”
