Water Cycle Series
The Water Cycle series considers how invisible forces, physical, emotional and relational, shape the continually changing states of human reality. Taking the water cycle as both structure and metaphor, the work proposes transformation not as an exceptional event but as the irrepressible condition of existence, where growth, erosion, accumulation and renewal unfold simultaneously.
Working through painting as a form of visual enquiry, Wooller draws upon the symbolic language of Renaissance painting alongside recurring architectural motifs, clouds, thresholds and charged negative space. These become thinking devices through which the paintings examine the relationship between the visible and invisible, the material and the psychological. Through layering, erasure and gestural mark-making, the works suggest that transformation is neither linear nor complete, but an ongoing process through which our realities are continually perceived, constructed and inhabited.
