Miranda’s work explores both internal and external landscapes, imagined terrains that sit between memory, perception, and emotion. They attempt to reflect the sense of awe and beauty in the natural world, as well as an engagement with the unknowable that sometimes reveals itself but never fully resolves. This tension connects to her interest in the atmospheric sublime that inspired the romantic painters. 

 

I am drawn to the pauses, quiet intervals between thoughts and actions. Places where awareness shifts. In these spaces, a sense of clarity and connection can emerge that feels both personal and collective. My work is influenced by an interest in the shared experience, the idea that, beyond the noise of everyday thought, there is a deeper, unifying awareness. It is through the act of painting that I access this quieter state, where a sense of truth or knowing can arise.

 

Process is central to the work. Each painting begins in a state of chaos, with instinctive layers of marks and colour. From there, the Miranda works to establish a balance between composition and value, gradually refining the surface. This act of “taming” becomes a way of creating order without losing the energy and vitality of what came before.

 

Ultimately, the work seeks to offer an encounter with something expansive, quiet, and open-ended. A space in which viewers can step outside habitual thoughts and experience a sense of connection.
