Where Light Sleeps Beneath Water
Original Painting by Amy Hoedemakers
‘Where Light Sleeps Beneath Water’
Material: Oil and silver leaf on gesso board
Dimensions: 600mm
Based in Oxford, North Canterbury, Amy Hoedemakers is a mixed media painter whose work explores abstraction through layered surfaces and material experimentation. Her compositions emerge through an intuitive process of building, obscuring, and revealing forms.
For the group exhibition Between Light and Line, I exhibit a series of oil paintings that explore a fluid, atmospheric world where colour, light, and texture dissolve into one another, like reflections on water.
I incorporate metallic leaf to introduce moments of luminosity - surfaces that catch and reflect light, echoing sunlight on water or fleeting glimmers beneath the surface.
Through these works, I invite contemplation, creating spaces that speak to sensation, memory, and atmosphere, and to the ever-changing nature of light and water.
