Statement
Philippa Mollet’s lyrical abstract works are rooted in a dialogue with nature. Her works open onto intimate, imaginary worlds; poised between memory and fantasy, they explore our relationship with time, where past and future unfold at the same time. Guided by internal impulse, she creates layered, tactile movements and marks on recycled surfaces. In her monoprints paintings, beyond light, she uses gold leaf as a representation of the intrinsic value of each memory or imagined future. Each piece is an invitation to intimacy and connection to a fragile moment of reflection.
