The British artist Juliette Losq places the notion of ‘The Clearing' as central to her practice and imagery – a place where wilderness and chaos oppose civilization and order. She depicts liminal landscapes that hover at the edges of this symbolic Clearing, alluding to the English 'Gothic' of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as typified by fragmented narratives relating mysterious incidents, and scenes that were charged with an imagined threat. Losq conjures her own unique landscapes where we feel at our most safe yet most vulnerable stray too close to the edge and the forest may snatch you into its depths.
