Created during periods of immersion in nature, these works respond to time spent sleeping beneath tall trees and swimming in quiet lakes.

Eira Chidgey, Nook, 2026
Collaged fabric, acrylic and oil stick on board, 44x54cm framed
My work concerns itself with my internal world, and translating personal and social issues as a representation of self. This mixed media painting, Nook, explores both the conscious and unconscious murmurs of the mind, how this inner space accompanies us through life, helping us process, reflect, and understand the world around us. Collaged fabric, layered on board, symbolises a cocoon, cosy place, or nook, both protective and comforting; the softness of the material, in contrast to the board, creates the feeling of safety that I often find within. The concept of nook as a quiet and sheltered recess or secluded spot, represents how our internal psyche provides sanctum from our external environments.
