Demi Overton

​
​
Through a painstakingly repetitive and labour intensive process, Demi creates stark, sculptural works on paper, exploring the act of drawing and mark making in their most fundamental form. She embeds the marks within the surface, exposing them like scars as she pushes and tests the materiality and delicacy of the paper. Working closely with a combination of the unpredictable and changeable power of nature with the wonder of technological advancement in reference to the uses of global surveillance, she investigates and tests the patterns and forms within the natural world, seeking out and locating remote aerial landscapes which we struggle to physically reach. Her work takes the viewer into a vision of the unknown, forcing us to confront our own fragility and limits of perception; we are left to fill in the blanks.
With every action, there is a reaction.
