It Feels Like The First Time - A sensory vessel of art and design
"It Feels Like The First Time represents a boundless environment of mixed media conversations presented through archival images, video recordings, sculptures, drawings, automated and audible works, and so much more. This exhibition tastefully creates a sensorial tension, a push and pull, between material memory, existing power struggles, belief systems and the contradictory, uncanny moments of modern life."
Ena Swansea, Urban Romantics
“...Swansea’s paintings intricately twist and turn the paradoxical nature between location and dislocation, realism and dream, abstraction and representation. Her largely printed canvases tell a story of urban mastery, ‘slow painting’ and the humble boundaries of romantic mirages that investigate multitudinous ways to capture moments in time as they move swiftly into past time, with a hint of film-like qualities.”
