This piece, Untitled #1 is from her Conjuring Images exhibition at Hedge Gallery 2024. The paintings and pastels in this collection are inspired by art history, old Hollywood film stills, and whimsical creatures. A collector of images, Woods masterfully weaves her spectral high-femme visions with sensuous oil painting to connect the past and present simultaneously. Her lush, gestural paintings, though playful and riotous, explore complex ideas relating to the practice of painting, magic, feminine interiority, and what is considered “serious” content. Woods states, “I use color, gesture and form to communicate a sense of directness and urgency and see painting as a practice of divination or mediumship, outside of time, …like reading a crystal ball—an image emerges from the canvas.”
