“...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.”
“Liv’s photography is a testimony to the existence of ‘The Innocent Eye’ and the powerful role that culture plays in shaping human creativity and tates. Best known for her photographic series ‘Sister Sister’ and her more recently published book of prints which was shortlisted for Prix du livre d’Auteur 2021. Starting at the tender age of 15 and continuing on until today, Liv has taken hundreds of photographs documenting her and her sister’s journey into adulthood.”
