Always For the First Time II

About the Piece

An explosion of raw, primal energy. "Always For the First Time II " feels as if the very essence of the earth is captured in these bold colours, each one a testament to the perpetual rebirth that defines our experience. The interplay of fiery oranges and grounding blacks creates a dynamic tension, evoking the thrill of new beginnings that are simultaneously ancient and timeless. This piece is a celebration of life's relentless capacity for renewal, where every moment is both familiar and breathtakingly new, inviting us to embrace the ever-changing dance of existence with wonder and courage.

Included in the Paradox Exhibition

Part of a collection of works from Amica's solo Paradox at Art Images Gallery, Adelaide. Amica extends on her familiar sensibility for working with colour and form, to produce works with an elevated energetic charge. Though seemingly consistent with previous work, these new explorations consistently extend a sense of the sublime that captures and amplifies an essence, perhaps a metaphysical quality that transcends simple explanation, something that explores the concept of ‘self’ through notions of expansion and growth - while simultaneously engaging in a return trip to the core of being.

Either way, the works operate with a subtle newness. They introduce the next phase of exploration evidencing that Amica’s practice, as with nature, is in a gradual yet constant state of change. A living, breathing expression of life and the mystery of creation.
