Tania Matilda - I Bought A Good Quality Pair Of Ugg Boots For $6 From The Opp Shop Yesterday. Very Happy With The Purchase

Ink and pencil on paper, 29.5 x 42cm.

Artist: Tania Matilda

I completed a degree in Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours at RMIT in 2017 after a long and uneventful career in administration.

The technique I use to create my work is similar to the ‘Automatic Drawings’ developed by the Surrealists to produce drawings from the unconscious. Only when filling in the drawing with colour do I consider what the final piece will look like which gives a balance of absolute abstract with no control and a considered deliberate piece of artwork.

The titles I give to my work usually bare no connection to the work itself apart from how I’m feeling at the time of creating the work. As the work is not consciously meaningful, I don’t like to give the viewer an explanation as to what I think the image means or resembles but instead, an insight on how I felt on that day in my studio when the work was created.
