Artist Profile
RACHEL GEMMELL throughout the years, my art has developed into a search for self-expression and a way of escaping mental illness and the battles in my mind.My triangle design began as ‘dot painting’. Eventually, with influences coming from Aboriginal art, abstract and surreal styles, this evolved into small triangles. Looking beyond the triangles and into the balance of colours, I began “hiding” pictures within the triangle design.
I now use my triangles to express the conformity within my mind, and how this is juxtaposed against the balance and harmony of colours, and the patience these pieces require.
Finally, I have found that art is an extension of myself; it is who I am and my way of describing to others what takes place in my mind.
