Interview with Faith Spencer

Art that has us smitten

What's on?

🕯️Today on Art Smitten, we’ll be joined by Faith Spencer, whose solo show, ‘If stars were to touch me, I’d feel it’, has just opened at @alltheverybest_ in Abbotsford!
Faith is a painter whose practice explores light and atmosphere through layered colour and a transient visual language. Drawing on lived experience and remembered observations, Spencer considers the relationship between perception and memory through the medium of painting.

The exhibition runs from 18th October - 1st November!

We also have our Art + Music segment brought to us by Aditi today ~ sharing the work of Hannah Li @hannahhhli 💜 AND Astra is smitten with Sadie Whelan's practice 💜
